The "scanner -i" was run on Tuesday, Nov 2, actually. :-)

The browse time had expired in August, yes.

"scanner -i" is supposed to rebuild the file index. That's why I don't 
understand why I can't change the browse time after running the scanner 
command; I should have had an online index, after the "scanner" command 
finished.

There are indexes on that tape, yes.

Yes, that worked. 

I will make sure my documentation is more clear on how to retrieve indexes 
by using "mminfo" and "nsrck -L 7"; my co-worker used the instructions for 
"scanner -i", for when the index is not on the tape. 

Thanks
