As Rodney says, I think this error is likely a one-off.  With a 
removable drive, an error like this isn't particularly unusual.  You may 
want to consider rebooting.  This isn't necessarily related, but when 
using a scsi tape drive, I would occasionally get errors that were most 
easily cleared by rebooting.

BTW, I'm not seeing the error/warning in your grep of dmesg.  I'd look 
in /var/log/messages (or the Slackware equivalent) to see if you can 
spot anything there.
