Seriously?  Is this behavior due to changes in TSM 6.x, or has it
always been this way for SCSI-style (smcX) libraries?

I've never had this issue with my 3494 library and any TSM version
from ADSM 2.1 through TSM 5.5.

"Me too"; 3494 and 3584 both, I've not needed to restart TSM to begin
accessing new devices.
