Are you comparing the element number/serial number on each rmt device on the client with the path definition for the client on the library manager. rmt2 on the manager is not necessarily the same as rmt2 on the client and the path statements on the library manager have to resolve any differences.

For instance, you suggest that the drive at /rmt0 is element 256 when in reality it's 257. The library is instructed to mount a tape in element 256 and then TSM looks for tape in /rmt0. Verify that the paths and element numbers actually line-up correctly.

This server is TSM 5.5.2 I am setting up a library client and it also has TSM 5.5.2. The TSM library manager is using the drives with no problem.
