David,
Thanks for checking, I forgot about that option but after checking it
is currently set to '60' for the group I am testing with. I am starting
the group via the command line like so 'savegrp -l full groupname', I
have also tried just 'savegrp groupname' and get the same results.
Librado,
I have no other saves running during my test right now. The server is
idle at the moment.
I just have 'All' listed in the savesets for the clients but when they
save the 'All' is broken out into 4-5 savesets and shows up as each one
backing up. I get up to 4 savesets and no more per tape drive. I have
even had 2 saves from 2 different clients on one drive but when the 3rd
saveset from either of the clients or another client appear it wants to
load an additional tape.
The big problem is 4 savesets doesn't load up my SDLT220's and I end up
writing at a much slower speed than I am able to attain.
Thanks again for all the help.

Hi Kent,
Did you check 'group parallelism' it's a hidden option under groups.
Also, are
you starting the group via the GUI?
