Ah, desperation indeed.

How are the drives connected to the system? Our tape library has 
separate SCSI for the controller, and for each tape drive. The tape 
drives show up in /proc/scsi/scsi:

# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:

The ATL M2500 is the tape library, and the other devices are the two 
drives in the library.

You can see the library controller, presumably via the fibre HBA, and 
this shows up as a SCSI device in /proc/scsi/scsi? How did the drives 
appear on the system previously when they worked?
