It's probably "working as designed."  Replying 'HOLD' to that message
is so bad that I use TSSO (an automated console operations tool) to
always reply NOHOLD.  Doing so causes the WTOR for "reply ... WAIT or
CANCEL" to be reissued more often, but it's better than tying up
everything waiting for a drive to be freed up.
