Empty primary storage pool tapes not converting into scratch tapes

Oops!! I found that the primary storage pool volumes which have been ejected from library using move media command are not returning into scratch status, these are showing as empty volumes in q vol command.

To resolve the problem I ran  move media on one of the volume and that deleted the volume from storage pool and now this can be used as scratch.
Command used for moving media:
move media <vol_name> stg=<stgpool_name> wherestate=mountablenotinlib
