Following an upgrade from networker 7.2 to 7.3.2 jumbo 11we are having failures 
using tapes when performing automatic cloning from disk to tape. The request 
for a tape from the clone volume is made and then networker loads one of the 
avialbale tapes. The label read fails and then networker goes through each tape 
until there are none left. These tapes have been used prevously but have been 
re-labeled.
   
  The problem also seems to happen when attempting to recover data from tape 
that was written by 7.2. Networker will have a problem loading the tape but 
will eventually work after about 15 minutes.
   
  The error message is:
  Expected volume `000903' in slot `17'. The actual volume is `<NULL>'.
   
  Then this message will follow after all tapes have been loaded:
  \\.\Tape1 Verify label operation in progress
04/10/07 22:00:53 nsrd: [Jukebox `[email protected]', operation # 74]. Volume `000195' 
will not be labeled. It already has a valid NetWorker label.
04/10/07 22:00:53 nsrd: \\.\Tape1 Eject operation in progress
04/10/07 22:01:42 nsrd: [Jukebox `[email protected]', operation # 74]. Finished with 
status: failed
   
  Are there any known issues using tapes or reading tapes following an upgrade 
to 7.3.2?
   
  Thanks.
