"delete volhistory" seems to be what you require for the volume, it's
probably seeing that the volume was/is a dbbackup volume
in the existing volhist and hence refusing to allow you to re-use it.

DELETE VOLHISTORY
DELETE VOLHISTORY (Delete Sequential Volume History Information)
Use this command to delete volume history file records that are no longer
needed (for example, records for obsolete database backup volumes).
When you delete records for volumes that are not in storage pools (for
example, database backup or export volumes), the volumes return to scratch
status even if TSM acquired them as private volumes. Scratch volumes of
device type FILE are deleted. When you delete the records for storage pool
volumes, the volumes remain in the TSM database. When you delete records for
recovery plan file objects from a source server, the objects on the target
server are marked for deletion.
