in the past.

all of the returned media gets checked into the one TSM server that issued
the checkin.

Or script the checkin process.  I had the script check the volid's against
the volhist file to see if was volume that was "ours", and only issue
checkins against those that matched.  I kept the volhist forever to keep
stats on volume usage, etc.  I used mtlib to get a list of inserted tapes.
You would also need to account for "new" scratch tapes that might need
labeling...
