I have a user mod for DDR to interface with VM:Tape to request a new volume at end-of-tape. Works with non-labeled tapes only.

Sorry, no. This is one of those cases where you have to use a programmed operator (e.g. IBM Operations Manager) to monitor the console of the user running DDR. Whenever DDR issues the "mount next volume" message, the programmed operator would see it and send the message to the system operator.
