I reconfig'd the robot definition so these drives are not actually logically
in the library. I built the drives in as standalone drives.
I figured it out. The stand-alone policy is not grabbing tapes from the
scratchpool. I manually assigned the tape to the correct pool, restarted
the backup and it's writing now. Pretty cool.

Oh, wait a minute...this drive is IN the library?
Well, then what I would do is this.
Reconfigure the DOWN'd DRIVES to density type DLT2 (or whatever density you
are
using)
Keep the one you want to use DLT.
When you backup using the Storage Unit that is of type DLT, then it will
use
the drive you want.
Am I closer?
