Not ugly at all, and no outage is required if you do this at night,
since tape drives are usually quiet during that time anyway. 

Write a batch file that does the following:

        delete path (all tape drives)
        delete path (for library)
        delete drive (all tape drives)
        delete library (library)
        define library
        define path (for library)
        define drive (all tape drives)
        define path (all tape drives)
        checkin libv (library) search=yes status=scratch checkl=barcode
        checkin libv (library) search=yes status=private checkl=barcode

Call the batch file "library_redo". Run the file as a macro.

This should all run within a minute or two. Do it while all tape drives
are quiet.
