[Networker] Device Pathname not assigned to new tape drives

I currently installed 2 new AIT-2 tape drives into our scalar 1000. They 
are the same model as the first 2 which have been running fine for 3+ 
years. The problem is that the device pathnames are not being assigned 
properly to the new tape drives. There is some strange behavior going on. 
They are seen by the OS, but for some reason it looks like the new 
pathnames I create manually are pointing to the first 2 devices and not 
the new ones that have been added. Any help would be appreciated. Here is 
my setup.

System - Sunfire V240
OS - Solaris 9
Tape Library - ADIC Scalar 1000
Tape Drives - Sony SDX-500C AIT-2
Networker - 7.1

Shouldn't the links 0hbn & 1hbn be pointing to the devices on ID 8 & 9?

Here are some other steps I have tried that have not helped.

modinfo | grep SCSI
modunload -i ID
modload /kernel/drv/st
rm -r /dev/rmt
drvconfig -i st
tapes

Then run jbconfig. This did not help. How can I get the proper pathnames 
assigned to the 2 new drives?

Thanks,
David
