Well, it's definitely tape2 now.  The question is did it used to be
tape1 before that, how did that occur, and did you lose data in the
process?

Could the barcode have been reused?  Could it have been explicitly
labeled incorrectly?  It usually takes something like that.

You can get bad initial labels if the barcode reader is inaccurate, but
it won't normally do this because the previous label is verified before
relabeling.  You'd need a couple of failures for Networker to do this on
its own.
