I had the same problem, and reported it to TSM support. Their answer
was basically "That's just the way it works".
Obviously this isn't going to help get the data from my
production system to my backup system any faster.
I think it does help some. My understanding (which could be wrong)
is that mostly you get lucky and it mounts two input tapes and two
output tapes, but occasionally you get both processes trying to read
the same input tape.
