yep, that's correct, 3.4 bpdbjobs won't show the catalog backups.

however, I'm pretty sure vmoprcmd -d would have shown the pending 
request.  Then you can also use vmoprcmd -deny # to deny the tape 
mount.

Additionally, you may want to set the media mount timeout value so that 
if the catalog tape isn't available in the future, scheduled backups 
won't be held up too long.  If you do choose to set the mmto value, 
don't set it to anything less than 30 minutes.  I've seen too many 
times where < 30 minutes has caused problems for tapes which did take 
that long to mount (think DLT type media).
