My Tsm DB backup keeps waiting for a scratch tape until it cancel.

Hi!
         im running a tsm DB backup and the proccess stays in Waiting for scratch volume until it cancel:

Process     Process Description      Status
 Number  
--------           --------------------        -------------------------------------------------
  470         Database Backup          Full backup: 0 pages of 0 backed up. Waiting for
                                                           mount of scratch volume (177 seconds).


from the library GUI , i moved tapes in order to leave the drives free, but when i run the backup again, the message is the same.

I also tried to load 2 scratch tapes on the 2 drives  but , again, the process cancel waiting for a scratch.


Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Scratch tape is not Empty Tape.
DB backup does not use TSM format, it uses single tape in its own format.
