Bob:  I don't know about the AIX server, but it's a bug in the level 12
   MVS server.  See APAR PQ01122 (the child APAR List mentions IX66071,
  so that may be the equivalent in AIX).  We have a separate devclass
  for offsite tapes, so we change the command temporarily to use
  WHEREDEVC instead of WHEREACC until it's fixed. Actually, I am in the
  process of writing a program to process the list of empty tapes and
  issue multiple UPD V commands instead of the UPD V *.  Running the
  latter from the command scheduler was taking many hours (>24) to
  update only about 100 volumes and no other scheduled commands will run
  while that's going on.
