Sounds like you have assigned SCRATCH as the volume pool....do you get a message something like "invalid volume pool...not more unassigned media".
You cannot specify SCRATCH as a volume pool in a policy - even though it lets you!! - it wont work. SCRATCH is a special pool, a reserve of tapes for other pools to use as needed. You need to specify another of your pools and tapes will get taken from the SCRATCH pool as and when required.
