I have been fighting these issues, myself.
It seems that EXPORT/IMPORT is very, very fragile and V6 is worse than V5.
If the data the export needs is on a tape and all tape drives are busy, it
just up-and-dies with these errors. It does not wait for a tape drive to
become available.
This has been causing me grief for the past 3-weeks. I have been trying
to move nodes between servers (v5.5.3 --> V6.1) and if in the middle of
the "import" to the target server, it requires a tape mount on the source
"export" server, and all tape drives are busy, you get these failures.
This has caused me to have to bounce my V5.5 ("export") server, twice in
the last week. The "import" on the V6.1 server dies but the "export" on
the v5.5 is still running/hung. Attempts to cancel the export fail and
the process goes into a never-ending "cancel pending", thus pinning my
logs. Only choice has been to restart the V5.5 server.

Everything looks normal....the library works fine....all other operations
ok.....
Any ideas?
