Thank you, Kevin. Disabling striped recover did correct the problem.
However, I will note, for each recovery that I've executed during this
exercise, it has needed only 1 or 2 tapes which were available and both tape
drives were available. I'm not sure that I would have matched my problem to
the release note without your assistance.

I had the same problem, found the solution in the release Supplement.
When Recovering Data From Multiple Volumes the NetWorker Software Might
Loop (LGTpa55566, LGTpa57799) When recovering data from multiple
volumes, the recover client may get repeated "server busy" messages if
the NetWorker software cannot mount all of the volumes at the same time.
Workaround Disable striped recover on the server. Note: To disable
striped recover create the file /nsr/debug/no_striped_recover in the
/nsr/debug directory on the server. All recovers started after the
creation of this file will not use striped recover.
