The "insert overwritable tape" message indicates that you do not have sufficient overwritable tape for you job. This is another problem pertaining to your media sets.
You can put your LTO4 tape drive into your library, but you would need an LEO licence in BE to operate it.
If you do put in your LTO4 tape drive, you need to set up your barcode rules for
