I have just had the same problem here at the office.
The problem was with the latest adsm.devices.rte.

Have you re-defined your drive lately ?
Have you applied any fixes for the above fileset lately.

We were on 3.1.1.3 of adsm.devices.rte and a show libr had a mod=36.
After installing the latest version (3.1.20.30) if you re-define the drive,
this mod type changes to 13 and your previous tapes will no longer mount
(Server media mount not possible, no drives are currently available in
library XXXX).

After re-defining the drive, with server tracing on (MMS), I found that the
'old' tapes (pre upgrade) mount requests had a fmt=45, any new tapes created
had fmt=15 and they worked fine.

The resolution was to go back to the previous version of adsm.devices.rte,
re-create the drive (and check with show libr), then re-apply the newer
version, BUT DON'T re-define the drive from now on.


Regards
Gary
