Problem solved by changing the script from rem=bulk to rem=yes. Now TSM waits for a reply. No clue why it works with a 1-slot 3570 MP library, and not with a 1-slot 3582 library.

For DRM I would just
First, to get the list of tapes: query drmedia * wherestate=mountable source=dbbackup
Then to actually "move" them: move drmedia * wherestate=mountable source=dbbackup remove=no tostate=vault
TO get a list of tapes that are offsite ready to come backup: query drmedia * wherestate=vaultretrieve source=dbbackup
Then to "move" them backup: move drmedia * wherestate=vaultretrieve source=dbbackup tostate=onsiteretrieve.
When they come backup just put them in as scratch tapes.
Then I schedule an admin command:
def sched checkin t=a cmd='checkin libv 3582 search=yes checkl=b stat=scr' active=yes startt=17:00 dur=4
The above drmedia commands can be incorporated into a shell script (or batch file) and scheduled via a client schedule.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for that. Unfortunately, the AutoVault option is not possible.
The funny thing is: When I was using a 3570 Magstar MP library, there were no problems at all, as the library would just wait for me to give a reply when the cartridge was ejected into the I/O station. After upgrading the library, It just doesn't work anymore.
