"Bad Media" randomly occuring on OVerland Drive

I am running the latest version of Backup Exec on an Overland tape drive with the BE drivers. Tapes are randomly showing up as "Bad Media." - What I mean by randomly is if I load a set of tapes, 3 of them will show as bad, and 2 will show as OK. If I pull the tapes out and put them back in, all 5 will show bad, if I reload them AGAIN, 2 will show bad, etc.

Anyone have any input on this?
Thanks
-Tom

Thomas,
I'm not seeing that problem here -2003 R2 x64, Overland ArcVault 12, LTO2, u320 SCSI, dedicated HBA, 11d with all patches & BE drivers.

It seems to be a rather random and odd occurance.
