I had a similar problem with my library. What I did is "qu path" and see if they all show online=yes. If not what I did was "update path TSM RMT0 srct=server destt=drive library=lto3583.0 device=/dev/rmt0 online=yes" and from there on they started working. BTW I am working on a 3583 L72, just for reference since you did not mentioned the library type model you have.
