Well, I can (and did) do a saveset recover. The whole saveset was only 
like 14G, so it wasn't too bad to do that, and then find what I wanted.

As it turns out, apparently the problem was ... that I'm an idiot. :-) I 
*thought* I had done "scanner -i", and instead I had only done "scanner 
-m". So of course there was no index.

I am now doing "scanner -i", and it does look like it's rebuilding the 
index, as "nsrls client" now shows 2500 records ...

Mind you, I still have my problem from last week, where I did a "scanner 
-m", and then a "scanner -i -S <ssid>", to 3 tapes created on yet another 
NW server. And those savesets are still not browsable, even after doing 
"-i" (verified - the command is still on the screen, at the shell prompt".

But this other tape, from the other NW server, does seem to be doing the 
"-m" and then "-i" routine properly. When it finishes, I expect it to be 
browsable, especially after I make sure the expiration/retention dates on 
both the saveset and index saveset are set for 7 years in the future ...
