You didn't mention how many drives in library and if all drives
do this, but if you've checked the tapes then yes it can be a drive.
Drive has to "sense" somehow the write protect tabe of the tape.
It's just another sensor that can fail like any component.

I would try powering off/on library/drive first and see if it clears
problem.  If not run diags or call for service.

I've checked these tapes many times over yet this still happens. Can
anyone
tell me if a drive might be to blame? This is happening on the test
system
thankfully.
