Shame on me, you're right. 000302L2 is no dbs... "q volhist t=dbs" is what I
intended to query...

Subsequent question:
Is there a way to do move a dbsnapshot from one volume to another? I want to
get rid of a tape which we identified as the cause of library problems
(barcode sometimes unreadable, slot assumed as empty, library tried to put
other tapes into the tape's slot). Unfortunately it is currently in the
vault with a dbsnapshot still on it. Is there a way to put to move the
dbsnapshot  to another tape, so I can get rid of the error prone tape right
now and not having to wait for its snapshot to expire? (And probably missing
the day it gets back into the lib and is being reused for eventually a
dbsnapshot again)

kind regards,
Stephan
