Thanks Stan. the ssflags are all vNF. Using "nsrck -L6 po-d" does not
change anything either; I just tried it. My suspicion is that what
probably happened is that the first tape in the sequence probably got
clobbered when the unexpected reboot occured, probably couldn't place a
tape mark at the end of the data that was being written at the time of the
crash. I suspect that's why I can only see three volumes out of what
should be four.

Unfortunately, I am under pressure to finish up on this restore (even if
it does not succeed) because the auxiliary Mirapoint box that we are using
is urgently needed for a development project and the person in charge of
that project is unhappy that he can't have the system. I also need to do
some test backups of that system to try out a Sony tape drive that we have
on loan. As such, I think this might be the last shot we take at restoring
this person's email, but I would like to know definitively why this
restore isn't working.
