Thanks, guys. As it happened, I had two tapes in this state. "AUDIT VOL"
wanted to mount, so a recalled the tapes onsite. Ran an "AUDIT VOL" on the
first one, no apparent change. Ran "MOVE DATA" on a whim. Said it moved
stuff, but still no apparent change. Ran "AUDIT VOL" again, which returned:
    ANR2334W Missing or incorrect information detected by AUDIT
      VOLUME for volume SP0209 - information will be created or corrected.
and left the volume in an empty status. "DELE VOL" and all was happy for
that tape. Went to do something similar on the second tape and discovered
a reclamation had kicked off and cleaned it up automagically. I'm not going
to even try to understand what happened...

Cheers,
