Solaris 9 still needs a modified st.conf file for AIT-2 devices.

I finally got mmrecov to work. Thanks to trouble-shooting help from Legato
Tech support, an error was found in the way my server's st.conf file was
modified. After fixing the error and doing a "reboot -r", I was able to
use mmrecov successfully. I am still waiting for an "nsrjb -I" to finish
inventorying the 600 tapes in the library that's attached to the Legato
server. So far, the inventory is half way through and its not producing
any errors or unusual messages.

Thanks to all of you who responded to my plea for help. I am glad Legato's
tech support was able to work so effectively with me on this issue.
