I would recommend reviewing your Activity Log during the above operations to 
see how those operations actually did. Take one of the problem tapes and 
perform a 'dd' or like command to pull in the leading content of the tape, to 
see if there is actually a standard label there, and compare that to what's on 
one of your good tapes. Perform an explicit labeling operation on one of the 
problem tapes and attempt to use it.
