This is perhaps more of a communication question rather than a storage
management question, but I will still ask, considering some of you out
there should have encountered this problem.

Hi Tom,
1) You must checkin the scratch tapes before the private, since
performing a private checkin first will cause all of your scratch tapes
to have a private status. Therefore do a scratch checkin for your

data.
