duplicating tapes using Netbackup 5.1 in windows

When attempting to duplicate tapes using the bpduplicate command, Netbackup
attempts to mount tapes that are not in the library to duplicate to.   we are using mp3.
The command that I'm using to duplicate tapes is:
 
     bpduplicate -backup_id IMAGE_NAME -dp CLONE_POOL -s START_DATE -dstunit STOR_UNIT -mpx -L /tmp/log.out
 
When I open the Device Monitor there always a pending mount request for a tape that is not in the
library.  Has anyone noticed this behavior??? I've run this on a unix master and I have no problems.

Could it be possible that the backup image you try to clone has already 2 copies? (you can do a bpimmedia or bpmedialist to verify). bpduplicate would pickup the primary copy by default unless with -cn <copy_number> parameter.
