These are tapes that go from library to rack, then rack to library, only. 
I don't specifically change the location for them (although I do for 
clones, using mmlocate, but that's a different pool, etc.). Their location 
field goes blank when they come out of the library and their slots are 
reinventoried with new contents, but that's done automatically by 
Networker.

Hmmm... maybe before I load any recyclable tapes I should preset their 
location to the library?

Thanks
