Make sure you are NOT running "ltid" with the "-nsu" switch.
Run "bpps -a" check daemons and arguments.  The "-nsu" argument
is ususally used for stand alone tape drives where you dont want
NB to eject the tape after each backups.  It tells NB to NOT
eject the tape after a backup until the tape is full and it needs
another one.  Hope this helps.
