Netbackup 6 MP2, solaris 8 media server, solaris 10 master server. 
Quantum Superloader, SDLT600.  Each media server has a Superloader
connected locally via SCSI.
I'm trying to deassign tapes so I can erase/label them for re-use. 
When trying to run the bpexpdate command (on the media server), it will
ask me if I'm sure I want to delete the tape, I answer 'y' for yes, and
it will sit there for hours.  I'll have to do a control-C to kill the
command, and the tape will still be assigned.  I get no error, haven't
seen anything in /var/adm/messages on the media or master server.  I
haven't seen anything distinguishable in the netbackup logs.  Has anyone
had any problems like this before?  Anyone have any suggestions?
