Thanks to Dave Cannon.  To clarify:

A call to IBM support has been initiated and has passed Level 1; we are
awaiting callback from Level 2.
 -   This is one physical client enrolled under (2) different names in (2)
different management classes.
 -   Each management class has distinct & separate storage pools and
nextstgpools.
 -   The tape mount call is coming across storage pools & management
classes.
