If the tape in question A00025L5 is part of your offsite pool, it just
needs to be checked out of the library and sent offsite until ready to come
back.
If that tape is part of an internal pool. You need to check it back into
the library as private.

checkin libv XXXX search=y status=private checkl=b waitt=0 voll=A00025L5

DRM is a good check. Making sure you query drm based on how you did the
move drm. i.e (q drm volume_name or q drm volume_name s=dbs)

It is still not clear why checking/labeling new tapes is not working for
you, are the new tape labels a continued extension of the existing labels?
Is there a defined label range defined for the library (i.e logical library
defined with range A00000L5-A000305L5)

Hope that helps
