Not sure what you are saying here. If you created separate pools (W2K) only tapes you should not have to worry if it is a header problem on the tapes.

Therefore you needs the (expensive) STA license and to my knowledge the library sharing option. We used it once but had to disable it, since in our environment (W2K Client/STA and AIX TSM 4.2.0.1) we cannot read most of the data being backed up, because the real blockheader on the tape does not match the expecting one. But it's fast, together with the TDP for Domino we achieved ~18MB/sec throughput for each tape drive (3 in parallel). I hope, IBM/Tivoli can resolve this issue soon.
