The I/O station is already setup as Import/Export.  The icon changes when
it's setup as storage, i verified from the panel that it's setup as
Impt/Expt.  Any other ideas?

My apologies - I thought from the reference to the lock icon in your
original email that the padlock icon was showing as locked.

This could be a hardware problem; one of my co-workers mentioned that we
had a customer with at similar problem.  IBM wound up working on the
library.  I'm not sure what was done to correct the problem.
