I'll give it a try tonight on a test environment but I think I've already tried that.

I'll let you know.

Nope, this is not working. The tape drive is just not reacting at all... If this is a feature, this should be renamed as a bug, as there MUST be a way to push a label function even when the device is BLOCKED, waiting for a tape to be mounted or labelled.

Luckily enough, I have the exact message I was talking about:

11-Jul 16:08 localhost-sd JobId 11321: Please mount Volume "LTO-E" or label a new one for:
    Job:          fdld-E.2011-07-10_23.59.05_08
    Storage:      "Ultrium-2" (/dev/nst2)
    Pool:         E
    Media type:   Ultrium2
