Yes, mount count resets to zero when it returns to scratch.

Charles,

Note that this number may not mean what you expect it to.  The help for
"query volume" notes that this value is the number of times the server opened
the volume, which may be more than once per physical mount.  Also, if you use
scratch tapes, I'm pretty sure that the value gets discarded when the tape
returns to the scratch pool and resets to zero when it's defined to a storage
pool again.
