device or resource busy



Hi,
I have a Seagate Tapestor Travan 20 (IDE) tape drive.  I want to have it
do automated backups, but it records in /var/log/messages:
(Not quoting)

device or resource busy  [offset 0]

The tape drive is /dev/hdc and I use the ide-scsi module with an
"append=..." to lilo to ensure it makes the connection between /dev/hdc
and /dev/nst0.

Does anyone know why the tape drive is busy if nothing is using it?  How
do I fix this?

Brian
