I have observed that when a tape is loaded into the I/O station, upon trying to close the door, it will not close easily. Of course this may not stop some determined operator/whomever from closing the I/O station door. I have heard stories from CE's that, with MUCH effort, the door can be closed.

If that occurs then the volumes remain in the station and do not get loaded into the library. There can also be other reasons that volumes are returned to the station rather than being loaded. You might want to verify with the operator that the station is empty and that the volumes were loaded.

Sorry about delay my response. How can I see what volumes of tape are on our drive ? The operator said that put there 4 volumes, so We think know the name of volumes to give / test the MOUNT command.
