This is correct, It is the location field that I was talking about. Sorry, I
wasn't very acurate with my question! I'm running Solstice Enterprise Backup 
7.1 on a Solaris server if that makes any difference.


When I label a tape in the Ultrium device it shows up as in location 7 
(actually ' 7')

bash-2.05$ /usr/sbin/nsr/mmlocate -L
AT Firesafe
L280-1
L280-2


bash-2.05$ /usr/sbin/nsr/mmlocate -l ' 7'
Volume          Location
ATFH.2005.008    7
ATFH.2005.009    7

It's odd that mmlocate -L doesn't know about location ' 7'. The other unwanted
affect of this is that the location doesn't seem to get cleared, even when you 
unmount the tape via nwadmin, hence the 2 tapes it thinks are in that location.
