clean drive -- the job failed

After a while I've changed the cleaning tape in an autoloader. Be 2014 (on windows 2008 r2) recorgnized the Cleaning tape in the slot.

The error is "clean drive 0002 -- the job failed with the following error: library error - attempt to clean a drive in a library with expired or bad cleaning media."

Also the error in the Job log is "V-79-57344-34028 - A backup storage read/write error has occurred. If the storage is tape based, this is usually caused by dirty read/write heads in the tape drive. Cl..."

How to say to BE2014 that the cleaning tape cassette is new?

Thank you.

Are you using bar codes?  If so, is the bar code on the new cleaning media the same as the old cleaning media?

This doesn't work. The HP library sees the clean tape and can also use it to clean the drive. BE doesn't work correctly.
