NetWorker 7.1

Yesterday I updated NetWorker from 6.1.3 on my backup server to 7.1.  I
first made sure the mmdb and indexes were all intact and in good shape,
and then shut NetWorker down to facilitate a tarball backup.

Then I pkgrm'ed the 6.1.3 distribution and added the 7.1, using the
existing /nsr data.

Now, however, I'm finding that none of the recyclable tapes inside my
jukebox (Sun L180) are being loaded and relabelled.  When I do this
manually with

     nsrjb -Lv -b<pool> ABC123

I get an error, "nsrmmdbd:  can't fetch old save set"

and then the labelling continues.  After this, the tapes are loaded and
writing resumes.

I'm reluctant to think my mmdb was corrupted since nsrim -X reported no
errors before (or after) the upgrade.

Comments?  Suggestions?
