My worry is that the space has been allocated but not formatted. And there's no [reasonable] way to find out if the space is properly formatted. I suggest SPXTAPE DUMP the spool, purge all spool files, DRAIN each volume, detach the spool volumes from SYSTEM, attach them to yourself and format them "0 END", re-allocate them, re-attach them to SYSTEM, and SPXTAPE LOAD the spool.
