You are absolutely right Richard - to follow DRM media life cycle, but
this volume has no contents in it, yet during space reclaim process -
the process completes as successful, stating that there is still data in
the volume. This volume was last touched almost a month ago according to
q drm and I do checkin/checkout for drm every other day, yet this volume
is not showing up. 

So that is why I tried various tasks in my email trail to get this
volume back into the library as scratch.

Whereas you are using DRM, would you not follow the DRM media life
cycle and handle the empty Vault status volume accordingly, according
to the DRM states?  (This is described in the Admin Guide manual.)
