Are you using collocation?  If so, each session will want the same tape.  When 
you Q SESS, you should see which tape each session is trying to mount, or has 
mounted.

I have a client node that backs up over the lan to tape.  When I do a Q
SESS during a backup, there are 3-4 sessions running.  One session has a
tape mounted but one of the others remains in MediaW.  The node has
Maximum Mount Points Allowed: 2 defined.  The device class has Mount
Limit: DRIVES defined.  There are empty tape drives available.  Any
ideas why a tape is not being mounted?

TSM server is TSM 5.1.6.3 running on AIX 5.1 64 bit mode.  Client is
TSM 5.1.5.11 running on Aix 5.1 32 bit mode.
