Bugger.  I get none of the above:

-bash: lsscsi: command not found
# ls -l /dev | grep sg

*sigh*

I'd like to help these people out, but well, there *seems* to be a 
hardware issue.  Their admin, now departed, claims backups to tape were 
working.  Backups to disk are working, but not tape.  Nothing in 
bacula-sd.conf refers to any tape drive.  Nothing in the command history 
refers to the tape drive.

They have 8x400GB volumes on disk and they're out of space.

Mysteries.
