And note !
My current environment, if a tape is FF00 in the atl and is listed as a tsm
private tape... an "audit libr" within tsm WILL NOT update the FF00 to the
proper private status for that TSM server.
I believe in the past it did, and might again in the future  but currently
my environments don't.
That caused me grief when I was moving 5 tsm environments with 2 atl's...
I was planning on putting the tapes in the different atl, doing an inventory
on the atl  and then an audit libr from each of the tsm environments to put
things back in sync. but noooooo seems like tsm audit libr currently will
only REMOVE volumes if not found... won't add any back in or adjust their
codes in the atl.

In other words... DO NOT run an "audit library" within TSM and then look for
FF00 tapes within the atl and expect them to be "inserted" and thus
available for scratch use !  They might still be private tapes ! ! !
