This is what I do to get rid of the empty tapes that won't go away on my
AIX server with a 3494 library. It works everytime. You may be able to do
something similar.
upd vol xxxxxx acc=readw
checkin libvol 3494lib xxxxxx status=private devtype=3590
audit vol xxxxxx fix=yes
checkout libvol 3494lib xxxxxx remove=no
move media xxxxx stgpool=tapeback wherestate=mountablenotinlib wherestatus=empty
checkin libvol 3494lib xxxxxx status=scratch devtype=3590
