I have encountered that situation a few times. What I did was to issue an
"nsrjb -C" against the tape library in question. Then let the output
scroll to the end. If the device in question shows a tape in it, place the
same tape it thinks is in that drive back in the drive, then use the
appropriate operating system command to load the tape into the device.
After that, use "nsrjb -u" to unload the tape and convince NetWorker that
the tape is no longer loaded.

Then, just to be safe, issue "nsrjb -HEv" on that tape library.
