As Leonia suggested, look back at your startup messages to see what tape
drive you are getting.  Then look in $AIPS_ROOT/DA00/TPDEVS.LIST to see
what the device name is.

OK, that answers that question.  What OS are you running on; Solaris,
Linux, Tru64, or something else?  The device name may not be correct.  You
need to select the NOREWIND device which on Linux is usually, e.g.,
/dev/nst0 and on Solaris is /dev/rmt/0ln.

Once you have the correct device name, talk to your systems administrator
to make sure you have read/write access to the device.
