Rod -

The most common reason is that a file on the volume is Damaged.
Use the Query CONtent VolName ... DAmaged=Yes
command to so determine.

Also watch out for files spanning volumes where the companion volume
is not available.  There should be evidence of problems in the
Activity Log.  I regular administration tasks, perform do 'Query
Volume ACCess=UNAVailable,DESTroyed' to look for anomalies.
