Chuck and whoever else may be concerned:

Here's what I did:

1)  All my volumes are scratches.

2)  BACKUP DB can pull any volume from the library (since they are all
scratches).

3)  Do NOT "DEFINE VOLUME pool volser",  instead change the filepool
parameter "MAXSCRATCH" to something above 0 (which is the default), then a
migrate will pull tapes from the library.
