I have 4 tapes assigned to the category scratch0 and 2 assigned to volspecific:

However now that I think about this, there is a different error that comes back which RMS intercepts indicating there is no volume mounted. An error that is not reflected like this sense is. I recently worked on a similar problem, which turned out to be the drive somehow had been assigned as an autoloader for a particular scratch tape. Did the query you previously showed indicate the device was assigned category SCRATCH0? Do you have any tapes in this category?
