My opinion is that the update is a coincidence. I have had this happen
from time to time and ordinarily it was a tape failure (either on this
or the last job -- the initial read/set of the number of volume files is
getting messed up), or a bad exit from the previous job.
That said, I hear Purge Oldest Volume is a somewhat unpleasant directive
to use anyway.
