When you say the jobs

When you say the jobs finishes because no media is available are you getting a status code 96?  Do you have available media in the volume pool that you are using for the policy?

Have you made sure

that the tapes were inventoried correctly?  Do you have the correct barcode rules set up for these tapes?  Also make sure the tapes you have are not frozen or suspended.  

Below is the in-depth troubleshooting guie for exit 96's - it has a good list of things to check:

I don't have scratch pool.

I never understood why having a Scratch pool is not the default. 

That said, here's the guide to troubleshoot Status 96:
