Alright. I admit its late and I've been playing around with this new 
storage node for 12+ hours now, where of 6 have been used for 
troubleshooting this particular problem. But it seems to be working now! 
It noticed by coincidence that some drives were now accepting tapes by 
default after a reboot! For some reson, the "mt -f device setblk 0" was 
presistent across reboots. I could be dreaming, or whatever, but it seems 
to work.. If someone feels like it, tell me how its possible. :)
