Here's what you want to happen, when scanning a saveset that spans tapes:

>scanner -s NW-Server -S 2684190309 -i -t sdlt320 \\.\Tape2147483646
8909:scanner: using 'rd=StorageNode:\\.\Tape2147483646' as the device name
8936:scanner: scanning sdlt320 tape Tape-1 on 
rd=StorageNode:\\.\Tape2147483646
8939:scanner: sdlt320 tape Tape-1 already exists in the media index
8770:scanner: fn 161 rn 13153 read error No more data is on the tape.

29486:scanner: ssid 2684190309: NOT complete
8786:scanner: ssid 2684190309: 130 GB, 246555 file(s)
8761:scanner: done with sdlt320 tape Tape-1

8921:scanner: the following save sets continue on Tape-2:
client name  save set             save time     level   size  files   ssid 
   S
OldClient   H:\Users             9/28/07 18:21  f 133263763868 246555 
2684190309 S
scanner: when next volume is ready, enter device name (or `q' to quit) 
[rd=StorageNode:\\.\Tape2147483646]?
scanner: starting file number (or `q' to quit) [2]?
scanner: starting record number (or `q' to quit) [0]?
8917:scanner: continuing scan with tape on device 
`rd=StorageNode:\\.\Tape2147483646'
8936:scanner: scanning sdlt320 tape Tape-2 on 
rd=StorageNode:\\.\Tape2147483646
8939:scanner: sdlt320 tape Tape-2 already exists in the media index
8763:scanner: ssid 2684190309: SYNCHRONIZED at 130 GB, 246556 file(s)

You *need* to get that SYNCHRONIZED message. That indicates that you are 
scanning in the proper order. In my case, there will be a 3rd tape. If the 
tapes were not in the media db at all, that's when you have to first scan 
as "scanner -m", so you can then determine the order to do "scanner -i".
