(R) means readonly.  A tape can be recycleable (recyc) without being
readonly, though that's uncommon.

What happens if you

- depopulate your jukebox of all volumes it might want to use for the
  next backup, except for the one or two that aren't recyc when you
  expect them to be

- run

        nsrim -X

or

        nsrim -vX

(you may want to redirect this output to a file, and then look for the
tapes in question, and see if nsrim changes the status of those tapes).

- try a backup that should use one of those recycleable tapes.

Does NetWorker select the tape(s) for use after you've run nsrim?

Do these tapes have any aborted savesets on them?
