Tells me Media is not overwritable

When I insert a DLTI tape, the BNCHMARK runs for a few then pops it out. I get an alert in Veritas telling me that the disc is not overwritable and to please insert a overwritable disc. I have checked to make sure the disc is set to overwritable, as well as changed many settings in the job setup itself to see what the problem is. Any ideas?
 
Check that the 'slider' to make the tape write-protected is not in the 'locked'/'unwritable' position.

If the tape is not new, you'll also want to make sure that it's a member of the correct Media Set, and that the media set is set to the overwrite protection period you want.
