EMC tells me this is a known issue with save sets that cross the 2TB boundary.  
It has
something to do with the fact that my NetWorker server started its life in 1995 
on a 32 bit
architecture and the media database has been brought forward with every 
upgrade/system
replacement.  This is covered by NW00110493 (I assume that is a problem report) 
and RFE
NW113348.  Engineering has not been able to determine a way to solve this 
problem yet.  I
suspect the eventual fix will be some command that will read in the existing 
media database and
translate it from 32-bit to 64-bit (because it is reported that new installs do 
not experience
this problem).  To be clear, I specifically asked and was told that this is a 
problem that is
caused on the server not on the client.

I further assume that if I were willing to wipe my setup and build out a new 
one (possibly
running scanner on my 7 AFTD's and 10,000 tapes) that I would eradicate this 
issue.  I'm (for
health and sanity reasons) not willing to do that, at least not yet ;-)
