Several things....

Verify that these jobs are either able to multiplex to one tape, or restrict to 
one drive so that the jobs run one after the other, or schedule them to run at 
separate times.


If the storage unit allows more than one drive per robot to be used, then each 
job will run to a separate drive and tape.

Also, verify that both policies have the same retention, or check the "allow 
multiple retentions per tape" option.
