Kathleen,
   I've seen this often.

When a scratch tape is needed (and I think after the "normal" scratch tapes
have been used up)
the ones in the pending state (reusedelay=0) will be converted into
scratch.

When a storage pool contains tapes in pending status, and the pool is
subsequently updated to "reusedelay=0 days," how long should it take before
those tapes drop into scratch status?  I expected them to change status
immediately, and they aren't.....

Thanks!
