Thanks the problem was that the storage pool had hit 500 volumes and we had
never done a reclaim on the offsite tapes.  Changed the reclaim % to 90
instead of the default 100 and then uped the maxscratch to 1000. now I just
have to remember to update the volumes to get them back out of the vault on
some regular basis.   Thanks for your help
