I've had simliar problems in my enviornment. We have a EMC Celerra NDMP device.
What was happening to me was that a job would run, and if the job failed, then a lot of the times there was a disconnect in communication between the filer and the tape drive. The filer would refuse to use the tape drive for whatever reason, but the tape drive was still usable by other media servers (with SSO).
The solution, although not very pratical, was to reboot the data mover (celerra), and that would "reset" the communication between the filer and the drive.
So in short, you might want to try rebooting your nas device to get the drive talking to it again.
The solution that I actually ended up with is doing a 3-way NDMP backup via the media server. I've had a lot more success doing it that way, and to be truthful, the backup speeds are just as fast (for me).
