Turn on rsh logging in /usr/adm/SYSLOG by adding the '-L' option
to the rshd line in /usr/etc/inetd.conf, followed by
/etc/killall -HUP inetd, then do it again, to see what
the error is.

Also, you can try just running 'mt -t guest@remote:/dev/nrtape status'
and see what, if any error you get (on the machine without the drive).
There are no known problems in this area, aside from system configuration
on the users/admin's part.
