I think this could also happen if someone tried to RESTORE from that tape
during the migration.
Something caused ADSM to dismount D0012 before the migration process was
done.

If D0012 was in use by another process, such as a RESTORE, the migration
process would then mount a new scratch tape for output, as you describe.
