No, no. What I meant is that you first run "scanner -i", then "nsrck -L6".

scanner -i will rebuild the index files (*.rec). nsrck -L6 will rebuild the 
metafiles in the CFI and thus properly include the newly scanned in the CFI:s 
so Networker can find them in the "normal" way.

This was needed to get files read in by "nsrck -L7" also not too long ago when 
I needed it.  -L7 was supposed to include all the lower levels, but it really 
only loaded the *.rec files from tape...
