suggestions are still coming as I write this!!

Here's what the replies suggested:
 --

1) rebuilding the kernel

2) running MAKEDEV

3) using scu

        For SCSI devices, you can send Inquiry and mode sense commands
        with scu(8). The interface allows specification of the desired
        device by bus, target and logical unit. If commands fail,
        error will probably be logged and you can check the error
        logs with uerf(8). For SCSI errors be sure to use the option
        "-o full" to get full error listings.

what I did
 --

I tried running makedev first.

cd /dev
./MAKEDEV tz3 (Where 3 is the SCSI id of the device)
   

It created several /dev/rmt* files.

I tested using cpio. Works Great!

Thanks for all the help!!!
