Sounds like you are having tape library problems. A defective tape drive, where
a tape won't eject properly, is a common cause of Unavailable, as is a bad
gripper dropping a tape inside the library. A tape drive which can't read or
write properly will rapidly cause tapes to be forced read-only, as if they are
bad, but they are not. So, look into you hardware there.
