Many thanks to all who replied.
Joe Carrico hit the nail on the head.
Cheers,

===================================================================
This is something I received from the Compaq support for NSR.


 Cookbook FOR A STANDALONE SYSTEM:

    Shutdown NetWorker (nsr_shutdown -q)

    De-install the CLC kit (setld -d CLCMC31x -- substitute 1, 2, 3,
or 4
    for "x" -- use setld -i | grep CLC if you do not klnow which version
is
    installed.

    Rebuild the kernel (do_config [as root], answer questions
    appropriately for your system)

    NOTE: TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONS NORMALLY ADVISED DURING A KERNEL REBUILD
    (e.g., copy existing kernel to /vmunix.orig, full backup, etc)

    Delete all mc devices. (cd /dev; rm mc* )

    Define the environment variable DISABLE_CLC_CHECK

        in root, (sh): edit /.profile
                         DISABLE_CLC_CHECK="true"
                         export DISABLE_CLC_CHECK

        in root, (csh): edit /.cshrc
                         setenv DISABLE_CLC_CHECK="true"

    Reboot using the new kernel, verify that it functions properly.

    NSR should have been started automatically. Verify that the jukebox
    can still be accessed and that tapes load/unload. Since the media
    changer was affected, our tests did not try saves/recovers -- that
    is done straight to the device.
 NOTES: there must not be any CLC strings in the kernel (strings /vmunix
|
    grep -i clc),and there must not be any /dev/mc* devices defined, AND
    the environment variable DISABLE_CLC_CHECK must be defined before
    nsrjb runs (or jb_config)

    IF THIS IS NOT DONE FIRST NETWORKER WILL TRY TO USE SCSI CAM TO
    ACCESS THE CHANGER!

My original msg:

Having upgraded to TU5.0, and installed the accompanying
NSR 5.5-1, I find I cant configure my Jukebox (a TZ875).
jb_config reaches the point where it wants to use
MAKEDEV.MC to create the media-changer device, and
then complains because MAKEDEV.MC doesnt exist.

I found a link in /dev/NSRDEV.MC -> /usr/opt/CLC500/dev/NSRDEV.MC
This in turn called ksmconfig:

   ksmconfig -g value hardware/media_changer -a physical_location -a
dev_base_name

which then gave me:

   Error: (hardware/178) undefined attribute (physical_location)
