In the tape library there is an operation (via the web interface) to
download some tape logs. Normally this is something that I collect and
ship off to IBM instead of look at myself. IDK if you can look through
these and see something like: too many concurrent tape drive operations.

But, seriously, auto tape cleaning was blowing up our backups. It would
actually stop during the middle of the backup, eject the backup tape, and
do a cleaning. It would be nice if it could do this and then continue on
with the backup but that was NOT our experience. There's a difference
between "hey a cleaning would be nice around now" and "cough, gag, I'm
aborting the backup". Sort of like the difference between a warning and a
hard halt.
I know you said that the previous time cleaning was not an issue, but
perhaps there was a resource conflict due to too many simultaneous
backups.
