2186.1Just a guess...KIDVAX::DESOURDISThu Jan 30 1997 11:0010
    This may not apply, but it's worth a look: when we were seeing a
    similar message (under similar circumstances) it turned out to be a 
    discrepancy in the "location" value for the free tapes.  Make sure the 
    LOCATION field matches the value of logical "LOCATION" in logical name
    table LNM$SLS$VALUES (on both client and tapeserver nodes, just to play
    safe).  
    
    Good luck -
