What version of TSM are you on?  Since we got on TSM 5.1.1.6  We been getting 
Tape paths offline rather than Tape drive offline.  It took me a couple days to 
discover this after going to the new version of TSM...

        i finally figured out why my incrementals to the diskpool were 
failing...
        large files were trying to go directly to tape.... ALL MY TAPE PATHS ARE
        OFFLINE!! how the heck does that happen?
