yep, that's correct, 3.4 bpdbjobs won't show the catalog backups.
however, I'm pretty sure vmoprcmd -d would have shown the pending
request. Then you can also use vmoprcmd -deny # to deny the tape
mount.
Additionally, you may want to set the media mount timeout value so that
if the catalog tape isn't available in the future, scheduled backups
won't be held up too long. If you do choose to set the mmto value,
don't set it to anything less than 30 minutes. I've seen too many
times where < 30 minutes has caused problems for tapes which did take
that long to mount (think DLT type media).
