My experience with "new" tapes is that you have to label them first before you can use them within tsm.
If you have a barcode reader and a library with bulk I/O slots (like I do) the command would be: label libv library_name search=bulk labels=barcode checkin=scr Which would label all the volumes in the bulk I/O slots using the barcode reader to aquire their labels and check them in as scratch. As usual, if this isn't quite your config you can get help within tsm by using h label libv.

Every new scratch tape I try to insert into the library is giving me: ANR8355E I/O Error reading label The tape appears to be checked in as scratch but when TSM tries to use them, they error out.
