Before export I've checked all the volumes from storage pool and they have
the status ReadWrite. Beside that, after export, I put again the tape in
ReadWrite status and I coud move the data to storage pool.
How could I investigate if some tapes have problems before export?

Not included in your posting is the vital information: the Status value
for
the volume. Volumes which are to participate in storage pool operations
need to have status values which allow them to participate, and the
volumes
need to be in good condition - otherwise it's just a waste of time.
I would suggest performing 'Query Volume ACCess=UNAVailable,DEStroyed'
beforehand, to detect tape issues in advance, and look into and resolve
any
problems.  You may have to do some work on a few of the volumes: the one
you ran into may just be the first problem tape of possibly multiple.
Keep in mind that Export is long-running, and things may happen to its
input (and perhaps also output) volumes as it is running.
