Hi Richard!
You remembered correctly! I've had IBM open APAR IC43086 for this behavior.
This problem is projected to be fixed in 5.2.5. My guess it will be fixed in
5.3.1 too then.
Kindest regards,

Yes, that is not surprising.
Whenever you move a tape or place it in a slot yourself, you should run
a TSM AUDIT LIBRARY command.
That tells TSM to rescan the library and update the info about which
tape is in each slot.
Run the AUDIT LIBRARY from the admin command line, or from the web GUI.

Muthy,
When you moved the tape in the library, did you do it manually or by the

the library for a download of its own information. So, if the library
doesn't know, TSM can't know.
