I have an HP 4 drive SDLT library. One of the drives is showing the status 
as "Ready for writing, idle". To me, this says the drive is idle, and I 
can unmount the tape in it. I see no sessions that have this drive as the 
target (I do have other manual clone jobs running, but the target is a 
different tape drive). But I can't unmount the tape, and the error message 
just says 'Tape4 is ready for writing'.

Any ideas why I can't unmount this (apparently not in use) tape?
