I had the same problem, where I accidentally used DDS-2 media in a DDS-1
drive, and the tapes wouldn't be recognized as DDS-2 anymore, even after
bulk-erasure.
In my case, I discovered that my DDS-2 drive had the Media Recognition
System (MRS) switched OFF. I turned it on, and most of the tapes became
useable again.
I recommend never disabling MRS on a DDS drive.
