for some reason (lost mediaDB file from media server, decommissioned
media server without doing a "bpmedia -oldserver -newserver, etc) the
mediaID shown below does not have a mediaDB entry, only a volDB entry.

NetBackup won't automatically deassign such a tape. (if you check your
"all log entries" you will see complaints...)  Run 
   "bpexpdate -ev <MEDIAID> -justmedia -d 0" to fix.
