Steve,
I will put it back in & re-inventory but the tape itself would be
locked, that should not cause any issues, should it?

That works, when you eject it NBU will not be aware of its location and
will not use it. The only problem is that if you ever put it back in for
a restore you will have to tell nbu where it is to complete the restore
and there would be nothing stopping NBU from using it again if left in.

What do you guys think about this?
I can eject the tape, lock it manually (on the cartridge), so it cannot
be written to, then, when it expires according to its retention period I
will remove the bad tape.
CommentS?

I think you want this dont you ?
bpimmedia -mediaid BQ630D |awk ' $1 ~ /IMAGE/ {print $0}'
This should list the client images which are on that tape. These may not
be complete images if the tape is multiplexed or backups have span
media. Taking of the awk statement will show you all frags.
