Red herring, I think .. I forgot, our latest barcode labels have too many
digits to be read by the barcode reader in our libraries, so I've got
hundreds of tapes that have no barcodes on them (according to NetWorker,
anyway - I manually label the tapes with the 10 digit barcode from the
label, since our library won't read any barcode with more than 8 digits on
it).
