Absurd Media bahaviour ! --Got this online and appears brainstorming-Any Guesses ?

Hi,
I have specific issue here in Netbackup 7. Master/media server is same Backup is not spanning media. let me put forward an example
Policy : A with 3 clients , volume pool : VP1, schedule : Inc
Yesterday policy run at scheduled time - took 3 scratch and wrote 70-80 GB
data on it, rest tape is empty. Scratch media is assigned VP1 volume pool
Today again policy run at scheduled time - took again 3 more scract tapes
and wrote 40 - 50 GB data on it, rest tape is empty. Scratch media is
assigned VP1 volume pool .
and i run a manual backup again for this policy and 3 more scratcn tapes are
picked up.
So the issue is Netbackup is picking up scratch tapes each time a backup
runs and tapes of yesterday and today which still have considerable amt of
space left ,are not getting appended.
- Checked master and media host properties...spanning is checked for media
and disk.
- in bp.conf, ALL-Media-Overwrite entry is there in bp.conf
- Tapes are not frozen/suspended
- Same schedule runs each time - Incremental
We are falling short of scratch tapes and have no idea how to fix it. Please
help me !!!!!
Regards'

Please paste output from "nbemmcmd -listmedia -mediaid MEDIAID" with ID of one tape from VP1.
