Write Protected tapes not set to ReadO - and Mounted Again and Again....

Hi,

One of the tapes needed for back-up stg Tape to Copy appeared to be set to 
write protect. I expected ITSM to set the tape to READO and never ask for it 
again as long as it wasn't fixed. To my surprise ITSM didn't set the tape to 
READO and tried to write to it again, again failing the process and not setting 
the tape to READO.

The tape was defined to the copy stg pool with access readw and status empty.

Setup: ITSM 5.2.2.2 Library client to a ITSM 5.2.2.2 Library manager, both 
Windows servers.

Question: Is it working as designed?
