  This diagnostic message sequence can occur when some objects are
  pending deletion
  
  from a directory-container storage pool, but are not actually
  present in the pool.
  
  This APAR applies if sdRetryPendingObjDeletionsThread is seen in
  the stack details of the ANR9999D messages.
  
  It does not cause the stgrule to stop or fail.
  
  These messages have also been seen on server start up as well,
  but were not associated with a process or session number.
