They don't have 'manual' indicated, do they? Are they in the right pool
already? If not, do you have recycle to/from set up properly to make
that happen?
If you recycle one of them yourself, does the backup immediately pick it
up and use it?

Read-only just means it can't be used for backups at the moment, which
is expected on a 'full' tape. It doesn't mean that it can't be
recycled.
