1. armor mood by (rusty) armorsmith dwarf.
2. as he heads to the forge, i forbid all the bars near him except for the steel
3. he claims the workshop, does not grab any material
4. I unforbid all bars, he doesn't go for any material.
5. He's asking for leather and shining bars of metal.  Both are accessible and unforbidden, and in large-ish quantities.
6. I have no burrows defined, forge blocks/anvil are unforbidden.

any ideas?  I'm playing vanilla .06

had the same issue some time ago. Maybe he wants special bars? do you use dfhack? if so, try showmood.

Does your armorsmith have a 'like' for a particular type of metal?

From http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Strange_mood

"Moody metalworkers may occasionally require a specific type of metal as their artifact's primary material - for secretive moods and possessions, take a look at the dwarf's material preferences to see which metal the dwarf wants to use."

Oh yeah, forgot to check his preferences.  Idiot is a huge fan of pig iron apparently.
