Thanks to everyone that replied. It looks to be a tape compatibility
problem - maybe they were pre-initialized, or maybe something else.
Gonna let the vendor handle the postmortum. They (vendor) brought
me a new batch (different mfg) this morning and both Default & NDMP
pools are labeling and using these just fine.

Once I find out the details, I'll summarize.
