    The libraries are attached to 4 different fiber cards. I went through the process of getting both libraries installed on the server. Then I ran an Initialization of each job. This time it showed the status in the job of Server Paused. I toggled the Server to be Paused and then UnPaused. Now the jobs are working fine. I think it was the Server Paused issue all along. I just had some other errors that were "in the way". Oh well, now all my logs are clean and everything is running.

    Thank you for your help.

Try 

1) Shutdown the libraries and the media server

2) Power up the libraries

3) Power up the media server

If the problem persists, test the libraries with the manufacturer's diagnostic utility.  Make sure that you stop all the BE services first and select the write test.

Also, post the error messages.
