Dear Bob

I saw this problem when I reported a major bug with 2.4.0 I recommend 
you go back to 2.2.8 until Kern and others release a fix.

Kern could not repeat the error you and I seem to see. The system seems 
to be comparing the tape in the catalog and the tape in the unit.

The tapes are physically OK but the data is being overwritten on the 
tape in the unit.

Kern issued a warning regarding the problem - it seems to occur with 
those changing the tapes manually.

Regards
Stephen Carr
