Is your 3494 set for a permanent home location for tapes or for the closest
available slot ? ? ?

and if you just "upd vol 000830 acc=readw" does the volume become available
for use again ?

Are you sure you didn't get an error on rmt1 such as "dismount failed" ?

I'd check between 09:00 & 16:00 for any activity on rmt1
(and I'm guessing the below info was from a search on 000830)
