OKAY, I ran 'nsrck -L6' against the client. It completed reasonably fast
and showed no complaints, warnings or error messages. I then ran 'nsrls'
against the client and it reported the same info as before. BUT I guess
I don't see how a corrupt client index would affect database entries. I
mean, you should still be able to query savesets with mminfo regardless
of whether the client index has them or not, unless of course the volume
was recycled or the savesets explicitly removed, right? And, there's
nothing I can find anywhere to suggest that indexing is in anyway turned
off on this client anyway.

Next, I ran an mminfo command, including sscreate and sscomp. Very
interesting!!!

mminfo -s orion -q 'client=ldmspixie,sscreate>=10/20/04' -r
'volume,client,savetime(20),sscreate(20),name,sscomp(20)'
 volume        client         date     time        ss created     name
ss completed

Something sure looks suspect here. Hard to believe a saveset could have
been created on the server with a date of 10/21/04 if the client
savetime was 08/26/04!!!! I haven't checked the clock on this guy yet,
but the Windows admin is looking into it.
