[Veritas-bu] Need to move tape images from 7.1 master to 7.5 master

I am in the process of decommissioning a legacy NBU 7.1 Environment and 
migrating all backups to a new 7.5 environment.  99% of our backups are written 
to Data Domain and this has been the case in the old environment also.  
However, we have been running some compliance backups to a Scalar tape library. 
 These backups have to be retained for 1 year so I now have the need to move 
the remaining tape images from the 7.1 catalog to the 7.5 catalog.  

As I work this through in my mind, I'm thinking that there is no easy way to do 
it without having to re-configure the library in the 7.5 environment and 
re-scan all the tapes into the new catalog.  My hope was that there was some 
way from the command line to do a bpduplicate of some kind and copy them over 
somehow but something tells me that isn't going to be doable.

Does anyone have any tips on the easiest way to get this completed ?

Thanks in advance,

Mark
