It's a VTL, so the tapes are virtual.
What does q libvol <library_name> <volser> say about the volumes in
question?

Their location is already "null", so from that and the fact that they are
VTL I am guessing that they are Primary Pool vols and not in DRM.
If they are Copy Pool vols, then try a Q DRM for those volumes.
