Mark-

What is the "robotic volume group" associated with this vault?
Based on your description, I would expect it's the same volume 
group associated with 004401.

Given that a given NBU volume group can only contain one type
of media, the "robotic volume group" is the way that vault
is supposed to know which media type should be used for the
catalog backup.
