Hi, do you checkin with barcode or reading the label? If the former, maybe the tapes aren't labelled? Try label libv with overwrite=no.

If I over looked it, I will shamefully take the time-out chair in the corner. Our TSM environment is relatively new (< 6 mos). We are running 4.1.3 server on AIX 4.3.3 ML6 with a 3583 LTO library. The clients are all 4.1.3 AIX and NT. A few TDP clients for Exchange, M$SQL and DB2 on AIX. The problem is that I keep seeing several of my scratch volumes' status being changed from "scratch" to "private" and the "last use" column is blank. The first time I noticed this it was suggested, by our Business Partner, that the tapes were probably checked in improperly. I checked them out and then back in as scratch. Within the last two weeks I recall seeing several consecutively labeled volumes again with a status of "private" and no "last use". Again I changed their status back to scratch. This morning I see the same thing with the same group of tapes. I also happened to catch it in the activity log, stating that there were I/O errors on these volumes and the status change was to prevent re-access. If it were one or two tapes, I could accept it. But the fact that these seven tapes represent roughly 30% of the library's current population AND the fact that they are consecutively numbered AND have never previously been used, to me can't be explained as coincidental. The tapes and the labels arrived separately. So we can dismiss a error at the factory. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
