Looks like the MODE_SELECT command (to change the passive path to be
active) that is sent to the device is failing (for whatever reason) and
hence that path is not getting activated.

What version of multipath tools are you using ?

Can you attach your multipath.conf file. You should be using the rdac
path checker instead of the tur path checker. 

Can you attach the o/p of "multipath -ll"

Look below for more comments.

I presume 8:64 and 8:112 are the devices corresponding to other paths of
the device.

You can see that the MODE_SELECT command is sent and immediately the
path is failed (which means the MODE_SELECT command has failed).

And this the same thing that repeats below.
