Jon,
Jay,

I think you both got it -- brain fry on my part and was saying
"DLT 4000" and thinking "DLT 8000".

We've exceeded capacity... I'll discuss with my manager, we'll
have to find another drive (we don't control what's on the
disk volume).

                                                thanks,

                                                Brian
