The other thing to look at is your labels, do they end in L1 - like an LTO1 
tape label. If they do and the drive is an LTO4 it won't use it.  At least I 
know this is the case on my Scalar i2000.

I had to get new cleaning labels as all mine ended in L1 and they wouldn't work 
in the LTO4 drive.  Not sure if the drive wouldn't use them or if the robot 
would fail to load, but new labels fixed my problem.

They appear to be configured with the same type but we are still having the 
problem.

My cleaning tapes are TDK Ultrium Universal cleaning tapes. It says it's for 
LTO 1, 2, 3 and 4 drives. Has anyone had a problem with these?
