Larry,

   Thanks for the clues about these undocumented commands.  I ended up
writing two quick scripts to chop up the output of "vmquery -a -w" for
the info I wanted:

#!/usr/bin/sh
vmquery -w -a | cut -c1-8,91-97,105-120,132-140,307-324


and

#!/usr/bin/sh
vmquery -w -a | cut -c1-6,181-189,245-280

to give me information on pools, groups, tape locations (script 1) and
mount information (script 2).
