I had placed a call to IBM to see if there was anything on the Library
that I need to do to allow Application Managed encryption ( which
according to the manual is default) Well, it's only default of you TURN
IT ON.  The book for the library did not say anything about having to
turn that on.

We just did that and it is now backing up to tape.

LTO4 are configured as HCART, this is correct.
Have you enable the library to use encryption? If not, enable it first.
You
may have to buy a license from IBM first. 

What netbackup is doing is to keep the keys and enable or disable the
encryption option of the drive, but the drives must be encryption
enabled.

this is the tech doc I found
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/321244.htm

 
 
My tapes are setup with Media type HCART
 
MY drive type is HCART   IBM.ULT3580-TD4.xxx 
Now according to everything I read LTO4 is setup as HCART
but looking at that tech note - my tapes are reading as LTO1?
below is from the bptm

14:51:22.548 [401564] <2> manage_drive_attributes: report_attr, fl1
0x00000049,fl2 0x0000000c

 It seems LTO4's should have a much higher number for fl 1. 
So what do I have wrong that kms won't let me encrypt to the tapes?
