I think if you read the TSM Administrator's Guide they have different
deviceclasses for the drives for the very reason to prevent TSM trying to
append to the end of a 3590B tape.  What happens is it will use new tapes
for scratches but only read the old ones until they go through reclamation
and get recycled.  At least that is the way that I read it.  So setting up
the device classes correctly is important.
