Since nobody's offered any suggestions, it seems that whatever is wrong, 
it's not apparent from the information you've posted so far.  Therefore, 
it might make sense to provide more information.  I suggest you post:

1) Your entire director config
2) The part of your log file from the start of the job through the part 
where it starts requesting tapes.
3) The output of 'list volumes', preferably taken while a job is on hold 
requesting tapes.

These things usually turn out to be in some place you haven't
