Check the actlog- there looks to be no scratch tapes! Or a problem mounting volumes in the library.

A situation which goes on for days, as you have encountered, is abnormal, and may indicate that a tape mount is actually not completing, and that can be due to a drive defect or even a tape already in the drive (stuck there, after a previous dismount failed). Inspect the drive for problems. Depending upon your drive type, a Reset or power cycle may clear its condition. But thereafter keep an eye on the drive for further problems, where a technician would have to work on it.
