Bah, don't know why I didn't see it in syslog.  I was digging through the 
veritas
first expecting local logs.  

Upon digging I found this though:

Jan  8 10:46:17 bck1 tldd[674]: DecodeDismount(): TLD(0) drive 2, Actual 
status: Robotic dismount failure
Jan  8 10:46:17 bck1 tldd[674]: TLD(0) drive 2 (device 1) is being DOWNED, 
status: Robotic dismount failure
Jan  8 10:46:17 bck1 tldd[674]: Check integrity of the drive, drive path, and 
media
Jan  8 10:46:34 bck1 avrd[675]: received busy status from Drive04 (device 3), 
delay and retry

Something in the robot isn't happy, what is a "dismount failure" though?  There
are no tapes in the drive it was unable to remove, etc.
