Also, I have found that the drive will basically ask

it's reading off a cartridge (for example, when
putting a tape written in a 7000 into a 4000). But
once you start to write data to the tape, and remount
it, the problem doesn't come back. (Shutting off the
drive and turning it back on will clear the "cleaning
tape" light)
That sounds very much like what I'm going through, since I also had a
dozen DLTIV tapes that came with the drive, all of unknown origin.
