If these tapes are labelled and in the media database then it would be 
preferable to refer to them by Volume name. I assume that, since you are 
referring to them by slot, they have valid labels but have come from another 
system or been purged from the media database.

There is a bug / omission in Networker 7.4 in that the -R option to nsrjb now 
has no effect. 

On 7.2.2 our Operators ran a similar script to relable expired daily tapes with 
over say 30 mounts into the monthend pools to rotate our tape stock. It relied 
on the -R option (do not prompt when overwriting label if tape is recyclable) 
to allow this to proceed silently. 

The -y option will work, but will overwrite any tape regardless of it's status.
