naughty tape drive

Hello Gurus,
        This morning one of our consoles spat out a rather rude message
about the / file system being full... 111% to be exact! After a lot of
searching we found a file in the /dev directory called nrmt0h that was
over 500 megabytes. Need less to say I removed the file and tried to
recreate the device with MAKEDEV and had absolutely no luck! I tried
different combos of the example below just in case I'm a complete idiot!
:} The system is a 2100A 4/275 running D.U. 3.2F that was just installed
this weekend!

# ./MAKEDEV nrmt0
MAKEDEV: special file(s) for nrmt0:
MAKEDEV: unknown device in: nrmt0

                                                        Thanks in advance!!!
