BE 8 for Netware. Had been using for years with no problem. Now I get "Unable to read tape in drive..... " (and the yellow clean light starts blinking [no, the drive does NOT need cleaning])

I get it when trying to back up.
I get it when trying to erase.
I get it on a retension.
I get it on anything I try.

I can take the tape drive, the controller and the cable, put it on a workstation with a PC backup program and do a file backup of the server OK, but if I use BE on a server I get the above problem.

I've tried new controller, new tape drive, cable terminator.
I've reinstalled BE.
I've tried different servers.

I'm at my wit's end.

Thank You
