Well, I found the problem.  First, support was incorrect; plain barcodes
work.  I remember when I imported the tapes, something about setting the
number of cleanings.  When I looked, all the tapes were 0.  I set one up
with valid cleanings, which I believe them to have, and it worked.  As
for the tapes, they were purchased as LTO3 cleaning tapes.

Thanks for the suggestions.
