I have 3 miners in my fort, 1 is a migrant (He's the working miner) the other 2 came on embark. The original 2 won't mine anything. (I checked and they're holding picks) The new guy is steady mining all the time. What gives?

[Jayce]

Are you mining a single tunnel?,only 1 dwarf is needed.

Did you perchance assign mining through Dwarf Therapist?

Either way, unassign, unpause, and then reassign mining labour. Could be all that's required.

In some of my own tests, it wasn't even necessary to unpause - just going into v-p-l, selecting Mining (or Wood Cutting) and hitting Enter twice was enough to fix it.

One problem I had recently was with dwarves mining themselves into a corner without me noticing it.  I had them removing upward slopes around a bunch of pits I'd dug and they removed all the slopes from one particular area and couldn't get out, so they stopped mining.  I had to notch a wall or construct another ramp so they could get out and continue.  There are a number of other ways they can get stuck particularly when you're doing channeling / digging shafts.
