I got a script working with php... shows the disklist then the label and the
resulting tape. results like so:
[amanda@backup tor]$ ./figureouttapes.php |head
/array/sata-1/show/SHOTS/033x010
located on: AmaTor-002 MRX157L3
/array/sata-1/show/SHOTS/033x010
located on: AmaTor-003 MRX158L3
/array/sata-1/show/SHOTS/148Ax050
located on: AmaTor-003 MRX158L3
/array/sata-1/show/SHOTS/148Ax050
located on: AmaTor-004 MRX159L3
