I had something very similar to this happen with my AIT-2 changer when it had to be reset to company defaults. Unbeknownst to me, the default tape for the changer (drive? I don't remember) was DLT -- and, when it didn't find AIT-2 tapes, it complained bitterly, but not with any error that was obvious. If you've done anything "interesting" to your changer/drive lately, you just might want to make sure it's still configured correctly.
