I've finally realized the tapes I use for DbBackups do not automatically
return to scratch. Even if I manually change them with "update libvolume",
they just revert to private the next time ADSM tries to use them
(unsuccessfully).

Do I need to check them out of the library and re-dsmfmt them? What is
the standard procedure for this? I've got 21 3590 tapes sitting idle
because of this.
