This seems like normal behaviour...

q vol
q drm
q libvol
q content

Will return nothing for a library volume marked Private with no last use. It
has not been allocated to
a storage pool, the library doesn't know anything about it, except the fact
it's been marked as private
and therefore not to use it unless requested. The request never occurs of
course and your library can
fill up with nolastuse tapes.

Check out any tapes in this state, run the above commands and see if there
is any data on them, if not
then you can relabel the tapes as scratch or just check them back in as
scratch and problem solved.

More than likely a scratch tape loaded with a write protect.
