ok here's an update.
It seems to be related to the reuse delay of the storage pool
Yesterday when I deleted the two volumes that wouldn't delete it was set to
14 days.
I changed it to 0 days and when I came in this morning both those volumes
where empty and I was able to do a 'move media wherestat=mountablenotinlib'
and the volumes where deleted from the storage pool.
Further I deleted 3 more volumes this morning and although it said that they
weren't deleted because the volume state was mountablenotinlib, I was able
to do the move media wherestat=mountablenotinlib and they deleted
immediately.
fyi.

Hi, Mark,
I've got the same problem on another site. Try a "Q MEDIA" and I expect
that it will show "mountableinlib" - the reason it doesn't toggle with your
MOVE MEDIA command.
Same experience with the archives - no solid answer that worked for my
situation. I worked around it temporarily and left the volumes as they were
for now.

Subject: Move media problem
Hello all. I've searched the archives and could not find a definitive answer
and was wondering if anyone had an idea.
I have a volume that I have tried deleting by doing a delete volume
discardata=yes.
It completes but says the volume is empty but will not be deleted - volume
state is in "mountablenotinlib".
When I try and do a move media wherestat=mountablenotinlib it says 0 volumes
processed.
I've tried checking it into the library and then doing the delete volume,
still no good.
I'm running 5.2.1.2 on Windows 2000.
Thanks in advance,
Mark Remeta
