A manager – system error occurred (174)

I met a problem when backup files. I set up policy test to backup /dev directory on backup server. When performing manual backup, got two jobs under Activity Moniter.
Following is information about two jobs:

Job56 is a catalog backup. Catalog backups and regular media backups cannot reside on the same tape. You may wish to revisit how you use your volume pools. Catalog backup tapes must reside in the "NetBackup" pool.

If the tape was a dbbackup tape, you would get a like error from the regular media backup job stating the tape contained netbackup catalog data.

Yes, you are right. The tape was in NetBackup pool.
Now I deassigned the media and moved this media to DataStore pool. When backup /bin using policy Test_bin manually, get following error message:

It is strange that after build a policy and set a schedule. It will never do backup during the scheduled time. So I have to do it manually.

Thanks.
