Sorry for the late reply but I was away. When you issue a prepare for a resource that will take some time to prepare (e.g. get a file from a tape) the response will include a request handle. You use that request handle in a subsequent query to find out the request's status. For quick requests (e.g. prime a redirector's location cache) there is no point in the query because the request would have been processed by the time you get a response. So, the key here is that you need to use the request handle sent in he response (xrdfs or xprep should display it) in the subsequent query.
