I have recently upgraded from ADSM server from 3.1.1.6 to 3.1.2.20
(Clients upgraded appropriately).   Since then, I have accumulated about
50 tapes with a status of EMPTY.  When I change the access from OFFSITE
to READWRITE, the tape should become scratch (These are copypool
tapes).   I keep getting a server error.    I have logged this with IBM
and have done a database audit.  The database audie had inconsistencies
with 3 tapes. I   fixed these and now get a clean database audit
result.   About 20 tapes have returned to scratch status but the rest
have not.  I have tried updating the acess to every valid value and get
the same error (Example below).

Has anyone experienced this problem before?
Has anyone got any ideas?
