I find nothing different between the two configs that would explain why 
one works and the other does not. So I created a new media pool called 
exch3-allied-Pool, changed the name of the pool resource to the new name 
in the director config, added volumes same as before, and now I have 
been running without error since the 7th.

I am at a loss to understand why. I need to go into SQL and see what is 
different as doing "list media pool=exch3-allied-Pool" shows no 
difference between the pools.
