Ignorance which leads one to pose a sensible question is commendable.
However ignorance which causes incorrect facts to be propagated is inexcusable.

Hmm, neither do I at this stage.

Well, no, it's not. It should not need auto media management to do this.
Assuming that this is a jukebox device (not standalone) and that the tape is
recyclable and not set to manual recycle, it should recycle into the same
pool to satisfy a mount request when necessary. A "suggest mounting" or
"suggest relabelling" message should appear after a short time, then it
should get up and do it. It does look like you have a problem, and auto
media management is not the logical solution. Strange that it seemed to do
the trick.
