What's your saveset retention policy? For that matter, why not just

prevent it from being used again without manual intervention, but
setting the tape to manual recycle will avoid automated reuse.
Ah, I see now. My saveset retention is three months So you're saying the
way to do this is to forget about mmlocate and use nsrmm to set the tape
mode to 'manual' and then unload the physical media. Hmm, I suppose it's
also a good idea to use mmlocate to set the location to something other
than the Jukebox, just for reference.
If the tapes are partially full and I set the mode to 'manual' I don't
have to worry about Networker asking for the tape at the next backup?
