I have a 50+ step backup job (using real 3590s) that has steps like:

//STEP049 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//DASD     DD  DISP=SHR,UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=HKYTD4
//BACKUP   DD  DSN=DR.T.DSS.HKYTD4.&SUF,DISP=(NEW,KEEP,DELETE),
//             UNIT=3590,VOL=(,RETAIN,REF=*.STEP048.BACKUP),
//             LABEL=(49,SL,RETPD=&DAYS),DCB=(MODEL.DSCB,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSIN    DD  *
 DUMP FULL INDD(DASD) OUTDD(BACKUP) ALLD(*) ADMIN TOL(IOER) ALLE
/*
//*
//STEP050 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//DASD     DD  DISP=SHR,UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=HKYTD5
//BACKUP   DD  DSN=DR.T.DSS.HKYTD5.&SUF,DISP=(NEW,KEEP,DELETE),
//             UNIT=3590,VOL=(,RETAIN,REF=*.STEP049.BACKUP),
//             LABEL=(50,SL,RETPD=&DAYS),DCB=(MODEL.DSCB,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSIN    DD  *
 DUMP FULL INDD(DASD) OUTDD(BACKUP) ALLD(*) ADMIN TOL(IOER) ALLE
/*

This job always worked on OS/390 2.10, but under z/OS 1.13, randomly, when going to a new step, it wants the current tape mounted on a different 3590. Additionally, it does not unload the tape from the first drive.

Also: If I have only one drive online, it runs to completion. If I have two drives, but the other one is busy, it runs to completion.

Info: This system is using RMM as a tape manager, but the files being created on the tape are not defined in any storage group or RMM.

It is driving me batty. I have to be 'not seeing' something.
