Agreed ! -- Either Way  - the <not in media index> indicates that
Networker does not know what is on the tape, only what label it thinks
is on it. Verify the label on the tape via an inventory of it (with the
option checked to force load and verify labels) to actually see what
physical label is on the tape (if any). Even if it sees a valid label,
it sounds like it would be best to re-label the tape so Networker at
least knows it is an empty labeled tape...

and select Recyclable, it still prompts a type is not set error . Also
in Pool column, it says <not in media index>
