The problem appears to be fixed.

I rebooted the server, and that seemed to fix the problem. I did not look
at the uptime, but it's been rebooted once since Christmas.  When I
cleaned the tape drive, networker ejected the tape that was in there from
before.  I cleaned the drive twice, and started a backup of the server.
It failed again.

I power cycled the jukebox and put the tape from the drive into its slot.
Networker doesn't like it when you remove tapes from the drive - it kept
trying eject it.  I put the tape back and power cycled again, and this
time networker successfully ejected the tape.

I've been able to inventory a tape and recover a file using this tape
drive.  The real test will be if the backup works.

Thanks again!
