Hello Andreas, I found a problem where media record columns were lost when a Scratch volume was selected, which caused subsequent recycling to fail. I've corrected this in SVN rev 5128. I would appreciate it if you would test again, and if there is a failure, please do the list volumes and llist volume=xxx that I requested in an earlier email.
