Schedule backups fail

I keep getting an error message saying that
"The Operation was not performed because of no unused
media was available." I'm using tapes that I have used
maybe once or twice to do manual backups but I
have "Prepared" the tape in the Removable Storage Snap-in
for the Computer Management MMC. The media is stored in
the "Free" media pool.

Does anyone have any suggestions or any good faq/knowledge
base articles they could reference. I've read through and
tried KB:Q300135 and a couple others. I know this is
probably something simple that I'm doing wrong but for the
life of me I can't see it.
 
Dan,
I had a couple follow-up questions about this. What service pack are you
running? How does the tape device show up in device manager? And, what tape
media are you using?

This message is logged when no recognized scratch media can be located in
the active pool and/or mounted after 5 minutes. There are numerous reason
that this might happen though. It will help to know the information above.
