According to [1] this should not happen:
"...While the spooled data is being written to the tape, the despooling process
has exclusive use of the tape. This means that you can spool multiple
simultaneous jobs to disk, then have them very efficiently despooled one at a
time without having the data blocks from several jobs intermingled, thus
substantially improving the time needed to restore files. While despooling, all
jobs spooling continue running...."

Ok, this will end in slow restore times. It's possible to prevent this
behaviour?
