I have experienced this problem also, and reported it to IBM.
In addition to the error in requesting the privat/scrtch tape, I also
want the option of not letting tapes be reused if they become empty.
We copy the tapes and send the copy offsite.  When a tape becomes
empty and is automatically reused, the tape which it will be copied
to is not onsite.  Since all our tapes are in an STK 4400, a request
for a tape not in the STK unit generates a lot of trouble for us.
 
As a workaround I suggest deleting empty tape volumes and redefining
them.  I haven't tried it, but I suspect the error is due to some
fields not being reset.
