....I also changed the device drivers from IBM Tape Drivers to the TSM Device 
Driver just to see what would happen.......but the error persists....

Did you pursue the codes in the Messages manual?  They tell of a llegal request 
/ medium removal prevented condition.  This may resolve to a device driver 
issue, as previously outlined in postings on this library.  If one tape drive 
is working fine but not the other, check the firmware levels on them, where the 
problem one may well be at a lower level.  A firmware defect can result in 
timing issues, such that a tape dismount may be rejected as too early in a 
mechanical/electronic process.  Also double-check element numbers to assure 
that the drive is being addressed correctly.  You may want to exercise the 
drive via NTUTIL or the like, to verify functionality.
