If you have a LTO4 drive, then we can look into it more ? is this the case or ?
If you do have a LTO4 drive , you could also try this
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/352358.htm

this will disable the last 2 digits of the barcode - removing the LTO version definition from the barcode, this could ofc effect any rules and or existing backups so use with care.
