I have inherited a NetWorker 7.2.1/B311 (Red Hat Linux) configuration.
This is a remote system (6+ hour drive), so I'm a bit limited in what I
can do.

I seem to be getting a lot of 'Waiting for X writable volumes to backup
pool Y' messages. In nwadmin > Media > Volumes..., there are a lot of
LTO-2 tapes with a 'recyc' Mode and an 'expired' status, but they have an
(R) in their volume name.

Is there any way to reset their read-only status manually? AFAICT, they
should be usable, but NetWorker doesn't want me to use them.
