What you really should do is synchronize the library:

audit library libname checklabel=barcode
checkin libvol libname search=yes checklabel=barcode status=scratch
checkin libvol libname search=yes checklabel=barcode status=private

Make sure you issue the two checkin commands in the order I've shown.

Audit library will help TSM to checkout volumes that it doesn't find but it
will not checkin volumes that it does find!  If you have a tape in the
library that TSM does not know about, the audit won't fix that up.  To fix
that up you need to do the checkin commands above.  The order is important
since you generally don't want to check scratch tapes in as private.

Let  us know!
