Frustrating.
 
I'm trying to write a script which will run on one of our Unix servers to 
recycle tapes on a Windows NetWorker Server.  However, I can't pass the 
\\.\Tape0 across correctly.
 
At present, the closest I can get is to do something along the lines of:
  nsrmm -s <server> -f \\\\\\\\.\\\\Tape0
to try to pass the correct device name.  If I echo that string on the Solaris 
server from which I'll be running this script it comes back as \\.\Tape0, but 
it doesn't seem to get picked up by the remote system that way.  Naturally, the 
remote server stores this name as \\\\.\\Tape0, but even the appropriate 
\\\\\\\\.\\\\Tape0 or maybe 
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Tape0 doesn't allow me to 
address this drive.
 
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Any clues?
 
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Cheers,
 
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Stuart.
