The attribute "volume name:" is a dynamic attribute of a device.  You
should have multiple lines if you have multiple devices, and there
should only be a value there if the volume is mounted.  You could get
the same information by just running a 'nsrmm' to see mounted volumes.

     volume name                 (read-only, dynamic, hidden)
          This attribute monitors the mounting and unmounting of
          volumes for a device. When a volume is mounted, the
          value is the volume name, otherwise there is no value.
          Example: volume name: mars.017;

Why do you need the "last volume used"?  Perhaps using 'mminfo' would be
better.  Something like...

mminfo -ot -r 'volume' | tail -1

would work for some (but not all) situations.
