We just had the same problem today.

It turned out that the 'define drives' somehow inherited
device type GENERICTAPE while the storagepool had a deviceclass
that we defined with device type DLT (As we have a few DLT drives).

After creating a device class with device type 'GENERICTAPE' and
setting the storagepool to this new deviceclass everything started
to work (e.g migration, copy to copypool).

So compare q dr, q stg and q devcl to see if this is also your
'problem'.
