Saw this often on various flavors of V3R7.  Still have it on 4.1.5, as I
posted yesterday.  Do you have to reboot to get the process to work?

When running reclamation, migration, and move data certain volumes are
trying to be mounted on one particular drive. If that drive is not available
we get error messages:

The tapes never get mounted on any other drive.

I have deleted and redefined all the drives.

Has anyone else seen these problems?
