One tape-volume previously moved to an overflow-location was emptied by
file-expiration today.
The volume status was updated to pending.
I wanted to return the volume to scratch immideatly.
The first attempt on a delete volume returned

    ANR1425W Scratch volume BCK558 is empty but will not be
             deleted - volume state is "mountablenotinlib".

Which was correct, because the volume was at the overflow-location.

I then checked the volume back into the library.

    ANR2017I Administrator TOM issued command: CHECKIN libvol
             3494 BCK558 status=private devt=359
    ANR8427I CHECKIN LIBVOLUME for volume BCK558 in library
             3494 completed successfully.

However, the delete volume still fails with the same ANR1425W.

A q media on the volume now show the state as montableinlib.

But a show volume on the volume still report the overflow-location as
location.

I manually update the volume-location to "".

But still, a delete volume results in ANR1425W...
  And, adsm> dele vol BCK558
      ANR2220W This command will delete volume BCK558 from its storage
      pool after verifying that the volume contains no data.
      Do you wish to proceed? (Yes/No) yes
      ANS5102I Return code 14.

      ANR2307E No help text could be found for this message: 5102.....
