Evan-

Years ago, it used to be possible to specify

        nsrjb -d -P 1-4

(i.e. deposit volumes from cap ports 1 - 4), and have NetWorker choose
what slots they ended up in (i.e. pick any four empty slots, I don't
care).  That functionality was deprecated or removed at some point in the
past, so now NetWorker requires that you specify both source port(s) and
destination slot(s).  That means you need something like

        nsrjb -d -P 1-3 -P 5 -S 22 -S 27-28 -S 62

That says: take the volumes from ports 1, 2, 3, and 5 in the load ports,
and put them in slots 22, 27, 28, and 62 of my jukebox.  I don't know if
NetWorker guarantees ordering (i.e. P1 -> S22, P2 -> S27, P3 -> S28, P5 ->
S62), but you do need to have the same amount of slots and ports
specified.

Be advised that your jukebox or other (external) jukebox software may
number your load ports from 0 - N-1.  NetWorker will use 1 - N, so you
may need to mentally adjust port numbers when you work with nsrjb, vs.
external commands like `mtx' or `mcutil'.
