These tapes are not unlabelled. A value is shown in the volume field,
therefore they are not unlabelled tapes. Either they have been labelled
on this server and since deleted from the media database, or used on a
different NetWorker server. Thus NetWorker sees them as foreign tapes,
but not unlabelled tapes, hence it will not label them using Auto Media
Management.

What AMM does is label tapes on demand that it believes to be blank -
this and nothing else.

You cannot of course change the barcode field in NetWorker, this value
is supplied to NetWorker by your jukebox.
