This is an old, well-known bug. I saw this fairly often in 5.1.6.5.
Restart the server and they'll all go away, to Scratch status where
they
belong. Fixed, I believe, in 5.3.something. DELETE VOL works OK as a
workaround, but is only necessary if you run short supply on scratch
tapes before it is convenient to restart the server.

Standard condition for where volumes were assigned to a stgpool via
DEFine Volume.  Perform Query Volume and examine the 'Scratch
Volume?' value.

Yes, you can DELete Volume to remove them from the stgpool, to
scratch; but determine why they are as they are: there may be a site
reason.
