Mike -

I had this happen many years and releases ago when I was moving the
diskpool from one device to another.

I got rid of the problem volumes by doing a restore volume on them;
of course this assumes you are using copypools.

Do 'restore v <volume_name> preview=yes' and get the tapes back from offsite.
Mark the tapes onsite and do the restore without preview=yes.  When the restore
is done tsm will delete the volume.  At least that is how it worked for me.
