Also turn the SAN Discovery option ON, we have figured out that the only way SAN Discovery would work was to run TSM as Root in UNIX. If you have SAN Discovery option ON, it is supposed to fix any discrepancy.
I would make a spread sheet of all devices for library manager/client and update the path definition on Library manager to reflect that. Here is any example of one, in this case the rmt number match for Library Manager and clinet. When you define a drive leave the default for "serial" option and for the path definition use "autodetect=yes" which is not default.

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.
