Tape Pull not showing all e-vaulted DSS backup tapes on P340 system

DSS backup tapes are copied to remote site and then the
original copy is expired. Tape Pull is not showing tapes
older than yesterday.

Notes from Rocket: After COPYCAT processing source volume is
deleted from IDS due to being scratch, but e-vault volume is reported on TapePull prior to BKMEXPIR run. Problem seems to be that
COPYCAT/CTCOPYP0 is not recognized as a track-able program. Development has a sample job log of a COPYCAT run to review.
