I have trouble with LTO 3583 library and TSM 4.1.3 in AIX 4.3.3.

I installed the device driver for 3583 drive and library to AIX system (from
original install CD) and try to configure it with TSM 4.1.3. In AIX system
appears this device like /dev/rmt0 (drive) and /dev/smc0 (robot). I decide
to use it in TSM like automated library (SCSI type) and automated drive
(element number for drive set up to 256 according to LTO  Setup and Operator
Guide - this is single slot I/O statin library with one drive (A), so that
drive element number for drive is 256 (100h) / i think). That I create TSM
library, drive, deviceclass and link created tape storage pool to it.

Now when I use TSM command CHECKIN LIBVOLUME, result was that all volumes in
library was labelled, but every volume generate message:
ANR8311E An I/O error occurred while accessing drive LTODRV1 (/dev/rmt0) for
READ operation, errno = 5
and at the end of process (although its complete status was SUCCESS - 6
volumes labelled) was message
ANR8779E Unable to open drive /dev/rmt0, error number=46
Command AUDIT LIBRARY also generate message ANR8311E.
I'm not so expiirienced in AIX OS, so that i don't know, why TSM cannot
access the drive for read operation although can label tape volume. Please
try anybody to help me.
 << Note1: I tried to configure LTO devices like TSM devices through SMIT
(befor I install atape.driver fot LTO to AIX system), like TSM-SCSI-LIB and
TSM-SCSI-MT, but without success, there was some error messages, so I decide
to use device driver for AIX and in TSM use it like SCSI Automated library
and drive with link to AIX device /dev/rmt0 and /dev/smc0 .... can anybody
tell me if it was mistake? >>
<< Note2: I apply TSM 4.1.3 patch for AIX server (IP22261-66) succesfully >>
Thax much for your help.
