Hello,
As asked in the previous reply, you can check the Overwrite protection period as well as the Append period. Also have you configured media sets and are directing the job towards a particular media set?
How many slots does the autoloader have? Refer to the following technotes which will help you understand the concept of OPP and AP and how backup exec picks a tape? The second technote will suggest ways to create partitons which can be used conveniently to make backup exec choose specific tapes for backup. Here are the links:
Title: An explanation of the "Overwrite Protection Period" and the "Append Period" http://support.veritas.com/docs/237374
Title: How to partition and manage an autoloader (robotic library) using Backup Exec 8.x, 9.x, and 10.0
Also check the following:

Also check for alerts related to media in the alerts tab.
If the problem persists, do write back to the forum with details.
