Mike - I had this happen many years and releases ago when I was moving the diskpool from one device to another.
I got rid of the problem volumes by doing a restore volume on them; of course this assumes you are using copypools. Do 'restore v <volume_name> preview=yes' and get the tapes back from offsite. Mark the tapes onsite and do the restore without preview=yes. When the restore is done tsm will delete the volume. At least that is how it worked for me.
