Error e00084f4 when backing up or restoring from tapes

I thought I had this solved, but it is happening again....

 

Using a DL380 GS HP Serverwith the SC44GE card connected to the MSL4048 2 LTO-4 Ultrium 1760 SAS Tape Library on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x64

 

Both backups and restores are failing with the tapes with error code E00084f4.  It had been working for the last day or so and now today, nothing.  No updates have been applied so I'm not sure what happened. 

 

Maybe I've got something corrupted?  Would reinstalling windows and BE12d be beneficial?  If I were to do that, would the newly built system be able to read the tapes just by running an Inventory and then a Catalog?

 

I appreciate any help you can provide.

so it looks as though a bad tape was causing our problems, everything has been working fine since that tape was removed.
