Thanks for your help, problem was solved this way:

my previous definition for deviceclass was (entered through WEB admin)
DEFINE DEVCLASS LTOCLASS DEVTYPE=GENERICTAPE LIBRARY=LTOLIB
MOUNTLIMIT=DRIVES .........

new definition is (must enter through console command line)
DEFINE DEVCLASS LTOCLASS DEVTYPE=LTO LIBRARY=LTOLIB ............

This setting is recomended in TSM4130SRV_AIX.README.SRV file in TSM server
4.1.3 for AIX patch.
Now it works good, but this device class definition is not reachable through
WEB admin interface (only by Q DEVC), LTO devclass is not still supported.

Problem with ANR8311E during AUDIT LIBRARY was caused by presence of
cleaning tape in library. As this tape is loaded in drive and audited,
generate read error message and all audit process ends with failure
unfortunately (we can hope that this bug will be removed in somenext
patches).

THAKS to ALL for help
