[Koha] circulation box -- impossible class?

[Kate Etheredge]

Hi Chris, 
None of the conditions you list seem to fit.  The patrons had had overdues and/or unpaid fines but not enough fine to trigger a block and even after the fines have been paid or overdues returned, the problem persists. 
Thanks for looking.  As I said, I am just an express site and can't change much.  We are a small branch and it isn't much of a problem to delete and restart.  Now that I know it is a bug and nothing I did, I can just let my staff know what to do and move on.  
:)
Thanks again,
Kate

Hi again

Here's what I found, in version 3.0.2 (which incidentally is from june 4
2009) the causes to block circulation are

If the barcode on the item doesnt match an item in the db
If the due date is invalid (ie it doesnt exist, or it is less than
today)
If the borrower has the Gone No address (GNA) flag set
If the borrower has the Lost card  (LOST) flag set 
If the borrower has the Debarred flag set (DBARRED)
If the borrower has no exipiry date, or the expiry date is before today
If the borrower owes more than the set for the noissuescharge
If the borrower has finedays .. (there is an option to block a person
from borrowing for a certain period of time, rather than incur a
financial penalty)
The item is not for loan
The item is on loan and is not allowed any more renwals

Those seem to be all the conditions I can find .. .could any of them
been causing the problem?
