Mounting tapes on VMS *AAARRRRRRGGGHHHHHH*

I've done just about everything I can think of to mount TK50 tapes on my
MicroVax (and also on my TK70 on the 4000), and I keep getting the
"%MOUNT-I_OPRQST, Please mount device" error.

I've tried mounting the tapes with "/FOREIGN" as well - no luck.

If I try mounting the tapes with the "/NOASSIST" option - I get the
"%MOUNT-F-VOLINV, volume is not software enabled" error.

I'm running VMS 6.1.

Any ideas? I've tried a half-dozen tapes on both drives with no luck. In
fact, there is no tape drive activity at all when the mount command is
given. I have been trying to "allocate" the drives beforehand, with no luck
in mounting.

AGH! Am I doing something dumb? I've been searching the 'NET and "Googling"
this problem to death - but I've been following all of the examples.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
