ioscan -fnC tape
lssf /dev/rmt/2mn

Check syslog.log and dmesg for errors as well.

run insf -e

Also, make sure your device name didnt change... and are you not using the no rewind option?

Sorry for the waste of time, I was thinking I was on the test box where it is 2m. Instead the device is 1m, changed the script everything worked fine thanks,

DOH DOH DOH!!!

I hate it when that happens...

I once was rlogin'd over to another box and inadvertenly rebooted the wrong one... but heh luckily it was during my maintenance and didnt cause too much headache...
