I think you're right potentially there's nothing that would prevent an attacker from altering the tape catalog.
That's why you should keep your meta-data close to the data itself in an immutable storage. For example, with BMC AMI Cloud Vault you can backup your data to an immutable object storage and you won't need to worry about anyone tempering with your data. All the data management aspects are using meta-data that resides in the same immutable storage so it can't be tempered.
