Usually after I load the PV132t with tapes I do an inventory. Sometimes they 
the tapes pop up being full with information that was saved from previous 
weeks. This is when I switch the tape to full recyclable so it can be ready for 
new backups.

Im going to see how things run tonight and I will run this command tomorrow. 
Thanks for all the help so far.
