An example:

bscan -m -s -v -V 'FREU097' -P XYHFLGHTGBFK /dev/tape-quantum1

Sometimes with the -m -s, sometimes not.  I have done many successful 
bscans before and since, fairly confident of my usage.

I don't have the output from any of the failed bscans any more, but this 
is roughly what they looked like:

...
bscan: bscan.c:637 End of all Volumes. VolFiles=326 VolBlocks=0 
VolBytes=309,353,435,014
Records added or updated in the catalog:
      1 Media
      1 Pool
      0 Job
      0 File

ie the bscan looked "successful", but never found the job or files.

It's starting to sound like the entire giant job was broken somehow right 
from the start - which is possible.  What a complete waste of time and 
effort.  And tapes.  :(
