Also, keep in mind that bpmedialist -mcontents will actually mount the tape
and read the contents off the tape. When you run bpduplicate, it simply
checks the images database to see what images are on the media you specify.
So, if the images have expired from the NBU DB, you could get the error you
saw, but when checking the actual contents of the media, you would still see
all of the images.

Try bpimmedia -L -mediaid 700264 and see what that produces.

I would also try the preview mode, as Kathy suggests.

Brian
