You can use mmlocate for this.

If the selection of tapes to be sent offsite is automated, you should probably 
automate the creation
of the list of mmlocate commands too. For instance, if your server runs under 
Unix, something like
this would do it : (the mminfo query will be specific to your schedule)

mminfo -m -q 'level=full,sscreate>=last thursday -2 week,sscreate<last thursday 
-1 week' \
        | tail +2 | cut -c 2-999 \
        | awk '{printf("mmlocate -u -n %s \n", $1);}' \
        | sed "s/\$/\'$DEST\'/"

Note that you should reset the location to en empty string when your tapes come 
back before putting
them in the library else networker will have to load them and read their label 
(if the location is
empty, reading the barcode will do).
