Try an

mt -f /dev/nrsa0 status

and

mt -f /dev/nrsa1 status

The ctl node specifically makes no access to the device.

If there is indeed a tape inserted, build a CAMDEBUG kernel,
boot it, and do

camcontrol debug -Ic b:t:l

(b = bus, t = target, l = lun)

and then do the 'mt status' dance as above and send to scsi@freebsd.org (the
appropriate list- not hackers). I'm the tape driver maintainer, but I'll be
out of town this next week.
