Probably due to lack of a DISP= parameter on the DD. The default is DISP=(NEW,DELETE,DELETE). The OP should likely use a DISP=OLD on the DD that defines the drive to be used to initialize the tape. As coded, the DSN is a temporary DSN and DISP=(NEW,DELETE,DELETE), and so I would guess that the SMS routines are being invoked and trying to allocate a temporary disk dataset.
