I am trying to move data from some suspect volumes in our library, but the
move datas consistently fail. The accounting log gives me the following
errors:

11/17/99   09:55:11  ANR8447E No drives are currently available in library
                      LIB3494A.

The problem is that there are available 3590E drives available when I issue
the command, and issuing the move data command on a different volume works
perfectly. Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas as to what is
wrong? Is the data or the cart so corrupt that it cannot be mounted? Any
comments or suggestions would be very helpful. We are at ADSM level 3.1.2.40
and have the latest microcode for the 3590E drives. The following
information is the detailed information on the volume I was trying to move.

Thanks,
