As an FYI:  

I ran into this once on doing a restore of a job that had multiple streams one 
of which died.  On trying to restart just the dead stream it failed because the 
media was still reserved by the original restore job even though it wasn't 
actually using it.  The only way to have cleared that would have been to stop 
the entire job (which had the still running other streams).  I opted to wait 
until those streams finished and the original job freed the resource.

If there is a process ID number you can do a help on nbrbutil and there is a 
way to kill the allocation of this media.....I think nbrbutil ? will give you 
the syntax....

Thanks Steve. What would I look for in the output?
