Bah...  It just stopped hating me is all.   :-)

Just started looking into it, and the more I looked, the more it seemed
okay.  And in fact it appears okay.

I had no problems loading a tape in the slot.  Device Manager showed the
label.  'mt -f <drive> status' showed a tape loaded.  I did a test
backup and that worked fine and my scheduled ones last night didn't take
the drive down.

Oh well, I guess it just wanted some attention.
