Fine so far, however if we were to run the nsrjb -I again the process is
repeated with the same set of tapes as before.

My question is: is this normal behavior or are we not performing the
operation completely (i.e.: running a post inventory command)

It's normal behavior if your library does not support barcodes, or maintain
an "element status".

For example, our ADIC Scalar supports both and an inventory of 48 DLT slots
takes a few seconds.  Our 10 slot Overland does not, and therefor must read
the physical label on the tapes each time we do and inventory (about 20
minutes).
