What version of Linux and Networker?

Annoying.  Is anything logged when this happens?  Is the tape drive
still "open" by a nsrmmd process (check with fuser or lsof)?  Does the
tape at least appear to rewind, or does it do nothing?

It doesn't have anything to do with what you're describing.  optional
verification, followed by rewinding, ejecting, unloading, and reloading
should all be normal activities that don't have to be "enabled".

> Anyone have any ideas?

If you have a tape in the drive, but moved forward, does asking
networker to unload still work, or is it only during a backup that it
fails?
