Yes after making them recyclable it wouldn't pick up any tapes for some odd 
reason. I have about 300 tapes that I rotate. Where can I check about my 
rentention period?

Last night before I left the office I ran nsrim -X about the 3 time from the 
Networker server. I relabeled all tapes that had access times from a month ago 
and his seems to have hopefully fixed the problem for now.
