Henrik - My first thought would be that you seem to have given an outside
         utility (dsmlabel) direction to use drives which may simultaneously
in use by the TSM server, resulting in errors, as warned by the Admin Ref
manual.  This may have resulted in a conflict and possible failure of some
of the dsmlabel operations.  I'd advise sticking with 'label libv' for
preparing tapes when your TSM server is up.
