How could I investigate if some tapes have problems before export?

Your best bet would be a review of the Activity Log, which would show
TSM having problems with tapes - or drives.  It may be that a marginal
tape drive is screwing up the Export, and that will show up in the
Activity Log as well as OS logs like the AIX Error Log (errpt cmd).
Your info above indicates that your tapes seem fine, so a drive problem
could be causing the exasperating termination of the long-running
Export.
If you can identify such a drive, do a Vary Off to keep it out of the
line-up.
