The most likely cause it that they were in use when you ran your command. Also 
why do you move them to courier, why not straight to vault?

One thing you may want to look into is not using the"*".
We had many problems doing this, including what you're seeing. A better method 
is to write a script to check out (and in) each individual tape.

Every Monday morning at 8:30, I run this scheduled command:

         mov drm * wherest=mo tost=cou s=dbno

An operator removes the cartridges form the 3494 I/O convenience station
and sends them off to the vault.  But the command "q drm" issued
immediately after the move process completes always looks something like this:

UC0986             Vault               10/08/2001 09:36:46
UC0987             Vault               10/08/2001 09:36:46
UC0988             Vault               10/08/2001 09:36:46
UC0989             Vault               10/08/2001 09:36:46
UC0904             Mountable           10/15/2001 07:01:12   TSMLIB
UC0901             Mountable           10/13/2001 07:01:26   TSMLIB

There seem to always be 2 or 3 cartridges that don't get moved and remained
in the "mountable" state for the rest of the week.

Can anyone tell me what is going on here?
