Admins,

        I have an alpha 4100 running 5.1B pk 1. I have connected a MSL5026
with one SuperDLT tape drive. I checked to see if I had a valid path to the
tape drive and the changer which I have and I can control the changer via
the media robot utility. However, I cannot execute a mt command or a vdump
command. When I first executed a vdump I was getting permission denied
error. However now when I do a vdump or a mt command it just hangs. Any
Ideas? I will summarize.

TIA,
