Pat, what version of the server are you running?

I thought this is what the new MOVE MEDIA command is for - it's supposed to
work like MOVE DRMEDIA, except it's for tracking non-DRM tapes that you have
to move out of an ATL into an overflow location.

Type HELP MOVE MEDIA, see if that's useful to you..
