I don't know enough about your configuration for too much comment but in our scenario which is a 3584, using the Atape driver on AIX I would query libv within TSM to see what logical labels TSM thinks are in which slots and then compare this against a listing from tapeutil -f /dev/smc0 inventory, which will list what physical labels are in which slots.
