LTO-3 Hardware compression

I was told today that the LTO-3 (IBM) tape dirve in my SL t50 library does not support hardware compression. I find this a little hard to belive as the drive was averaging about 1.2:1 ration before being swapped out for a replacement library. Now I get no compression. The Policys in BE 11d were not altered only the hardware was swapped out. The policies are set to hardware unless unavailable then software. What gives?
