If I understand the problem correctly, even having nothing else
going on is insufficient. Some of our tape storage pools have
three day reusedelay settings, so a volume deletion can occur
when there is no current server activity, as a delayed result
of a volume being emptied three days earlier.

The automatic removal of volumes that had been in empty-Pending state
is not an issue: deleting volumes containing data (DISCARDdate=Yes)
is a problem, because of the intensity of the database operation.
