Yep, that can happen.  You may need a bunch of tapes to restore ONE!

Thanks for all of the pointers to PREVIEW=YES (yeah, I kinda figured that
out).  Now if Tivoli will fix this error in the book(s)..................

Unfortunately, the result of the command now tells me I need 35 offsite
tapes to handle 1-bad tape (actually caused by a bad tape drive) that is
only 1.9% used !!
