The storage daemon tries to read the existing label of every volume before putting a new label on a volume that is why its reading the tape before actually writing the new label. On a new tape it will get a read error which is fine, the code then knows there is no label and will write the new label. This extra check is done to be sure we do not overwrite labeled tapes by accident.
