we have a policy to remove tapes from daily rotation after so many 
relabellings - I implement this by a query to mminfo something like this:

set CMD="nsrjb -j L700 -L -Y -b 'Period' "
foreach VOL ( `mminfo -a -r recycled,volretent,volume,pool -q location=L700 
| sort +1 | egrep '0[67]/[0-2][0-9]/06' | egrep -v '^   [0-2]' | head -20 | 
awk '{print $3}'` )
set CMD="$CMD $VOL "
end
echo  $CMD

this was all working fine until I upgraded from 7.2.1 to 7.3.1 and now the 
nsrjb command fails silently unless I give it a slot number rather than the 
volume name - granted this is doable but a pain...

so what I'm getting at is does anyone else have any issues labelling a tape 
by volume name under 7.3.1?

I have a MEC case open for this but it's looking like a bug to me

cheers
