We have had an odd ongoing issue where NetWorker will run for weeks without issues, relabeling recyclable tapes as required and then without rhyme or reason, we get a large batch of tapes that result in "NOT IN MEDIA INDEX" and "Duplicate label" errors as it tries to relabel the tapes. The label written on the tape differs from the media database and I just don't understand why this continually happens. The only fix is to delete the volume from the media DB and then relabel the tape. Has anyone run into this and resolved it?

Check the /nsr/logs/daemon.log for errors involving tape handling. This might shed some light on the problem.
