  Hi! It seems that the SO PIN you passed should be checked by the token
itself. In other words it can be stated as: in order to re-initialize
the token you have to *log on* to that token. But that leads to the
following problem: what to do if you forget the SO PIN and that is why
you want to *reset* the token completely?
  Second, if you look at the implementation of init_token() at
pkcs11-tool.c, you find, that it asks for the *new* SO PIN, not the
existing SO PIN. And that is true for the cards and tokens I'm working
with: I enter there any SO PIN I want and get a newly initialized token
with no data on it.
