Actually, the error number = 6 IS the unix errno, just spelled
different for the different message, and it does mean "no such
device" indicating you have a problem in the operating system's
configuration with the device.   Use the aix command "lsdev -Cctape"
to see if the drive is available or just defined.   You can double
check it by using tapeutil to try to open the drive as well.
You may have to reconfigure (ie from AIX) the devices.

The other message is a sequence error, meaning the failed
open probably led to an illegal request of some kind.
