The progression ought to be that that tape is marked "Full" if full, or
"Used" if it goes above one of your configured thresholds. After that,
it should eventually prune all of the jobs off that tape and then you'll
be able to write to it again (and it will be in the states you've
described). If your tapes stay Appendable (sounds like not the case,
since you've been filling them), they will never recycle.
