Tape Drive Problems

Hi all, I am running Tru64 5.0. I am getting the following message
multiple times upon boot:

Aug 11 20:20:10 empire vmunix: Active CCB at time of error
Aug 11 20:20:10 empire vmunix: cam_logger: SCSI event packet
Aug 11 20:20:10 empire vmunix: cam_logger: bus 3 target 3 lun 0
Aug 11 20:20:10 empire vmunix: isp_process_response_queue
Aug 11 20:20:10 empire vmunix: No autosense after C C: 1700 81

I can't read any tapes either. I inserted the cleaning tape, but it
popped right back up. Writing tapes seems to work OK. This drive is a
Sony SDT-7000 DDS-2.

Is my tape drive going old and bad, or is there a hardware/software
issue?

I have included hwmgr attributes at bottom if that is any indication.

Thanks.
Jess
