Dale,

Some more details would be helpful. Including:
- URL of product description
- a full SHOW PROCESS of your process
- a listing of the account used from the SYSUAF (including all
privileges and rights)
- a SHOW DEVICE/FULL for the tape drive in question

It could be a poor port, or there could be other reasons. Without data
there cannot be a definitive diagnosis.
