I've got a number of tapes that have an "assigned" date but have no images
on them & have never been mounted.  This doesn't seem consistent.

Here's the vmquery output for one of them:
[root] / # vmquery -m CG0068

Here's the bpimmedia output showing no images on it:
[root] / # bpimmedia -mediaid CG0068
no entity was found

Perhaps unrelated, these tapes might have been used when this master server
was one named something else.  The master server was rebuilt & renamed, the
catalogs & configs abandoned and remade, and the tapes just rediscovered.
Is there potentially a bplabel issue?

An attempt to "bpexpdate -deassignempty" failed on this and every media
server.
