Thanks for all the suggestions, folks. I think we're on the right track, however I just can't pin it down. The virtual tape is an outboard hardware/firmware (running under Linux) solution, not a software one such as CA:VTAPE, so not likely to be the culprit here unfortunately. Sorry for not responding sooner, I'd left the office (now 10:30pm here in The 51st State). 'nite all.. Brian
