Hi Don,
"Cannot open device" messages are usually permissions problems on
the device, i.e. the /dev/nst0 (and aliases) must all have mode 666 (i.e.
-rw-rw-rw-) and be owned by root. Your tapecap entry looks fine, I'm
assuming there are no problems accessing the drive outside of IRAF? Hope
this helps, let me know if the permissions change doesn't solve things.
Cheers,
Mike Fitzpatrick
