I doubt it is the issue with drivers installed for the tape drive. Install the latest symantec drivers.
You can find the latest DDI package from here: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH52027

BE reports only native capacity of the tape in console not compressed. For example if you are using LTO 2 tapes, those are of 200GB capacity in Native mode and 400 GB in Compressed mode. BE displays ~200GB (around 196GB if i remember exactly) as capacity.
If BE is not reporting as above mentioned and far less than native capacity, install the latest symantec drivers for the tape drive and see if that helps....

Installing the package given in that TN on media server updates the drivers of tape devices connected to that.

Yes. You should also look into upgrading your BE. It is a very old version and may not support the latest hardware.
