Try an audit volume on it and see what happens.  This usually takes care of
it.  Sometimes you have to run the delete volume a couple of times.

Hey all -

I've been doing a little cleanup of some offsite tapes
- long story - but bascially I'm doing some "delete
volume <volid> discard=yes".  Ran one today on a tape,
and for some reason the tape did not go to a pending
status.  It's still at a full status.  I did get all
the other messages about it being empty and all that
good stuff - just no pending status.  The tape IS
empty, and I got an error when I tried delete volume
on it again.

Any ideas?

Tracy
