That's highly unlikely to be the case here

It at least 7 days between writes,  we have Mon-Thurs and Fri1-5 tapes, daily 
tape (eg monday) starts writing at 9:30pm and usually finishes around 0030 
the next morning. It is not written to again until the next monday. The 
friday tapes are recycled every 5 weeks and exhibit the same issue.
