Trust me, we have more problems with the use of a VTL especially with 
relabeling and the headers within the virtual tape being marked as in-use.  
Even though Tivoli might say a volume is full, the VTL doesn't understand that 
properly.  We have been going back and forth with the vendor on this for many 
years.  Overall, it's definitely better than a physical tape library but it has 
its issues.

I wonder if the problem might recur as someone noted.
I wonder if the issue is related to the VTL itself having a hold on the tapes.
