Maybe its a false error.  Do you have enough tapes available to the tape
pool?  Do a "query <stgPoolName> f=d" and look for Maximum Scratch Volumes
Allowed: and see how that compares to the number of tapes in use.

Also try a "query drive" to make sure all the drives are available and
defined to the correct devtype.
