Scanner? hmm ... the tape is in the media database (I only created the 
thing this morning). I thought scanner was for finding out what was on a 
tape that is not in the media database?

In fact, I can see the list of SSIDs I would need. I was looking at the 
"recover" command line, and it says (I think) that I can feed it a file 
full of SSIDs I want recovered, one per line. Perhaps that would help?
