Steffan-it is now! I stumbled across this node parameter on one of the servers
yesterday. When I changed it to 4 with a resourceutilization setting of 8 I got
four data sending sessions with 4 tape mounts so clearly this was the problem.
Didn't find any mention of this in the documentation, though.....;-)
Thanks for the help.

Phil,
I take it that MAXNUMMP is set to a number greater than 2?
