Richard - The problems with your TSM disk and tape resources indicates that
          someone is really dorking with your system.  You need to find that
person and deal with him before he does more damage.

The tape label problem is fatal.  Attempting to recreate the label is not the
real issue: the symptoms suggest that the tape in total was used for some
non-TSM application.  Is your library shared with some other facility?  This
is a common cause of this problem, with two chefs in the kitchen.

I think your shop needs to call a halt for a while and take a thorough look at
configuration and practices, as things are really amiss.  In particular, look
for recent changes (within the past month) that could be causing conflicts.
