Neither you nor Thabani mentioned the OS of the server thus I assumed AIX. For Windows most common reason is Windows driver starts and grabs the devices (even unrecognised) before TSM driver can do anything. Thus devices are locked. Verify is the checkbox "Enable Windows Tape and Optical Support" checked (in TSM device driver properties box).
