Backup Exec 20.5 Active job finishes but remains active for 30 minutes

I have 3 Backup Exec 20.5 servers. 2 are on identical hardware and identical tape libraries. One of the servers runs as normal as Backup Exec can run. The other one finishes a job, puts it in the job history as completed, but it remains as an active job for almost 30 minutes before it finishes. This is causing major delay's in our backups and is causing a high volume of missed backup jobs. I have an active ticket open with Veritas. Their conclusion is because there are hard read/write errors on some of the drives, it is causing the issue. However, the server that is working fine on the identical hardware also has tape drives with hard read/write errors. I let the tech know this, but he would not budge on on fixing the read/write errors first, then we will go to the next step.

We write directly to tape. I am currently in the process of creating a disk storage on this server to see if a disk to disk backup does the same thing. In the meantime, has anyone else seen this? Or have any ideas I can try while waiting on Veritas support to try and repeat this same issue in their test lab?

Thnak you in advance for any ideas I get from this post.
