I wonder if there's a bug in the "nsrjb -d" command. It sure seems like
there is, but I just wanted to confirm raise this possibility here. I do
plan to report this to Legato tomorrow, and I suspect that when I arrive
at work, two tapes will have failed to eject during tonight's backups.

Another thing to check into is whether your library supports "element
status", which is when the library tries to keep status of which slots are
occupied (and their barcodes, if your library supports a barcode reader).

For example, our ADIC Scalar can report all that information without moving
the robot or reading any tapes.  An inventory of a 48 slot library
literally takes seconds.

If your library has element status, but has a defect, it might be lying to
Networker.  Check the "nsrjb -HE" command.
