See if this is your problem:

When the Available_Media report is executed, it creates a lock file to prevent a second attempt of this report from running at the same time. When the report is running and is interrupted by an 'Esc' key or 'CTRL-C' the lock file does not get released and prevents the Available_Media report from being run.  In order to get around this, look for a file in the %TEMP% directory in the following format:
AM.<current username>.lok.  

This file must be deleted or renamed so that the Available_Media report can be run again.

I had the feeling due to the way this ran that you should run it on the Master rather than on the Media Server - its output does reports on al Media Servers media

From the script itself:

@REM  caveat:
@REM     this script assumes that the Volume Manager database and NetBackup
@REM     media database are both resident on the host where this script is run.
