The LUNs used by tapes changed so that 31DEC03 and previous are not
compatible with 31DEC04 and 31DEC05 which are compatible with each
other.  The AIPSLetter went into some detail on this matter more than
once.

Are the TPMONs running still dating from the old version?

If everything is at 31DEC04 this problem should not arise.
