Yeah, I inspected the drives and sure enough, the leaders are
not there.  They could be wrapped up, but it's hard to tell.

Called our rep.  Thanks for the confirmation.

That's going to be tricky.  Hard to know what tape was in which
drive.  I'm going to go back through the daemon.log.  Should be in
there, I think.

Thanks everyone for your responses,
