Yes, I've seen one aspect of this problem, frequently. The part about the volume "currently being checked in or checked out". The only way I could correct the problem was to stop and then start the Tivoli server. Tivoli support had no other answer to this problem when I contacted them.

The activity log seems to indicate that tapes were not available but that doesn't seem to be the case. I did rerun the script to kick these processes off and I am not seeing the same phenomenon, things seem to be working. Needless to say it is a little confusing since it is running now. Has anyone else seen this?
