The most likely cause it that they were in use when you ran your command.
You pointed me in the right direction. I did a "q vol f=d" and it says no
such volume. "q libv" shows those volumes are the current dbb
volumes. Question answered.
Also why do you move them to courier, why not straight to vault?
I found that the 3494 may have spit out some other volumes before or after
the move drm process. So the schedule does the move from mountable to
courier, then the operator issues a command that lists all the volumes
"wherest=cour" and prints it so he can make sure he's only sending off drm
volumes.
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?
