Most libraries do a full scan of their content when they initialize and
store the result in memory. When you do an audit ... checklabel=barcode, TSM
actually works with the information in the libraries memory and does not do
an actual scan.

If you really need the barcodes to be scanned again, re-init the library
(power cycle, open the main access, whatever).
