Arno> Yes... looks like something that should get fixed.

I've already mentioned this bizaritty to Kern but he didn't seem keen
to fix it.  Since he says the DB should never have any tape location
information in there, I don't see why he even bothers to keep it in
the DB.

My feeling is that it would be *great* to have a quick way to query
what *bacula* feels is in the library and where, without having to go
and run the 'update slots' command. 

So hey, go and file a bug report, it can't hurt.
