Check that the pool has the correct drives selected and correct
clients/groups
Also check that client backup storage node and clone storage node have
values that make sense (i.e. pool and client agree on which drive
they're going to use...)

If that was the case then why am I able to mount, unmount and inventory
tapes on the library attached to the new node? Also, why do the backups
run, but only after I first mount a tape; otherwise, they just sit
waiting? Running /etc/LGTOuscsi/inquire does show the same control port
I have listed under the jukebox configuration. The hostname is correct.
If this information was not correct then I doubt I'd be able to even
communicate with the library. I can communicate with it just fine, but
NetWorker just won't automatically mount up the necessary tape.
