If you haven't yet done so, reset the jukebox with NSR. To be sure this
reset works, shut down the NSR daemons with the nsr_shutdown command.

Verify that all the NSR daemons are down after nsr_shutdown does its
thing. Kill any NSR processes that still exist.

Remove all the non-hidden files from /nsr/tmp and restart NSR, but do not
remove the sec directory.

Start the NSR daemons again.

Wait a few minutes for all of NSR's daemons to come back on line, then
issue "nsrjb -HEv" to reset your tape library.

You might also fix up the media index database via "nsrim -X"

These steps should clear up the problem assuming no other hardware issues
exist with your tape library and its devices.
