A couple of thoughts/questions:
1) Have you tried to restart your system, and make sure the tape is not in the tape drive at boot.
2) Try a second tape (to rule out a bad piece of media)
Have you tried to do this multiple times? The existing job access the tape is from two days ago.

Dear all,
we are running SLES 11 where an iscsi tape library is
attached. To load the tape in a slot we are using for
instance the command #mtx -f /dev/sg1 load 2 which is doing
very well.
But after a server's reboot the device name of the loader is now
/dev/sg4 or /dev/sg5 I mean it is... (1 Reply)

TS(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual TS(4)
NAME
ts - TS-11 magtape interface
SYNOPSIS
/sys/conf/SYSTEM:
NTS ts_drives # TS11
/etc/dtab:
#Name Unit# Addr Vector Br Handler(s) # Comments
ts ? 172520 224 5 tsintr # ts11 driver
major device number(s):
raw: 8
block: 2
minor device encoding:
bits 0003 specify TS drive
bit 0004 specifies no-rewind operation
bit 0010 ignored
DESCRIPTION
The ts-11 combination provides a standard tape drive interface as described in mtio(4). The ts-11 operates only at 1600 bpi, and only one
transport is possible per controller.
FILES
/dev/MAKEDEV script to create special files
/dev/MAKEDEV.local script to localize special files
SEE ALSO
mt(1), tar(1), tp(1), mtio(4), ht(4), tm(4), dtab(5), autoconfig(8)
DIAGNOSTICS
ts%d: no write ring. An attempt was made to write on the tape drive when no write ring was present; this message is written on the termi-
nal of the user who tried to access the tape.
ts%d: not online. An attempt was made to access the tape while it was offline; this message is written on the terminal of the user who
tried to access the tape.
ts%d: hard error bn%d xs0=%b xs1=%b xs2=%b xs3=%b. A hard error occurred on the tape at block bn; status registers 0-3 are printed in
octal and symbolically decoded as bits.
ts%d: addr mod 4 != 0. The address of a TS-11 command packet was not on an even longword boundary.
BUGS
If any non-data error is encountered on non-raw tape, it refuses to do anything more until closed.
The device lives at the same address as a tm-11 tm(4).
