nst0 permissions as follows

Ah. Depending on which user id your script is running under, it doesn't have permission to access the tape device.

You should either change the device owner or permissions (which I wouldn't recommend doing manually, but rather - but I don't know debian - by configuring udev to do so) or let your script run mt as another user. sudo is a good tool there.

You could also run the DIR as group tape, but that would be kind of break your systems security.

Arno

thank you

    Well it will be interesting to see if "mt rewoffline" fixes the problem.

    Anot her possible cause for the error: the uid/gid which runs the
    Director
    doesn't have permission to access the tape device (since this is
    normally done
    by the Storage daemon, which might be running as a different uid/gid).
