If your actlog goes back that far, examine it for when you did the MOVE MEDIA command.
I have done this before and it is a bit of a pain. I think after the MOVE MEDIA it
may then want you do do a CHECKIN for the volume. The docs on the command wasn't
clear and I had to play with it to get it right. It works slightly different as I
recall depending on whether tape is empty or has data on it.
If somebody has a good clear procedure on how do do this and make it work right, let
us know.

What is the percise error message you get when you try to delete volume
<volumename> discard=yes ?
