Brett:

bplabel will mount the tape for you.

 You already added these new tapes to media manager, so 
they have an external VSN (-ev).

Your command should work as follows (just as you have 
attempted)

bplabel -ev A00002 -p Netbackup -d dlt -o

however, when this is just sitting there I'd take a 
look at your device management window to see if there 
is a problem with the drives, or a pending request, etc.

I have done this same thing before and it has worked 
for me.
