Thanks John, that looks right. The first tape finished after 4 hours, so
that's pretty much theoretical maximum tape speed. At this rate I'll be done
in 7 days (not as bad as I thought it could be). It'd be a little faster
except I have to manually change the tapes - that is, manually using mtx. Is
there any way for next time that I can get the tapes to change
automatically?

Thanks again everyone who's helped - fingers crossed that in 7 days it'll be
a valid catalog. I'm getting a repeating "Could not find Job for SessId..."
error, but I'm hoping it'll get resolved by the end of the tape or the next
tape.
