Try 

nsrjb -HH -Ep -v

followed by

nsrjb -I -Ep -v

rinse and repeat. It may get errors, but by repeating those, it should
force a resync.

Subject: [Networker] Tape showing in drive but it isn't

We're using 7.3.3 (Windows x86, unfortunately) and every once in a while
I will see this happen.  In the GUI Monitoring - Devices tab it shows a
tape loaded into the drive.  In the Devices button is shows the drive as
empty.  I can't load a tape in the drive without getting the error:

error message: "Device `\\\\.\\Tape1' is not available.";

But I can't unload it either because it doesn't think anything is there.
I can't disable the drive since it gives the error:

"Cannot change enabled status to disabled on a mounted volume"

"nsrjb -IE" does not resolve this either.  The only way I've found to
fix this is to cycle the networker services.

Any ideas?
