Hi,

I'm suspecting the tapes are actually recycled ones. Try adding the
following into the bp.conf

ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = DBR
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = TAR
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = CPIO
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = ANSI
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = AOS/VS
ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = MTF1

But firstly, you have to ensure the tapes are not frozen (use bpmedialist to
check). You can use bpmedia to unfreeze the frozen tapes.
