Oh, then just make sure and do a
        grep successful  nohup.out | wc -l
and them make sure that number back equals the number of tapes you were
expecting to be labeled, if not the volser will be in the message with
"successful" so you can find out pretty easily which specific volumes got
labeled and which one(s) didn't
