I'm wondering of an AUDIT LIBRARY ... CHECKLABEL=YES would do the same checking that a CHECKIN LIBVOL would do. If it's just reading the label, it seems like that would do it.

We had this issue - one way to determine the corrupted tapes is if you have TSM 5.2 or higher (or is it 5.2.2?) server with TapeAlert turned on.
We would then run checkin libv command with the checklabel=yes parameter.
TSM would then generate a message such as the following when it encountered the bad tape:
ANR8950W Device x.x.x., volume LTXXXL2 has issued the following Warning TapeAlert: The tape directory on the tape cartridge just unloaded has been corrupted. File search performance will be degraded. The tape directory can be rebuilt by reading all the data.
Granted it takes a bit of time to checkin all of your tapes reading the labels but this was much better than a user doing a restore and encountering this issue (hours and hours and hours to restore a 10K file!).
