One of the ways to fix this is to do a 'q cont' on those files and then do a selective full backup on these files again. this way the database will expire those files on the bad tapes. Another way (if you have copypool tapes - offsite) you could perform a 'restore' command which will show you which tapes to recall and this will also expire the data after this was complete.

The list of tapes that need to be reclaimed is getting bigger and we are running out of scratch!! Could this have been caused by a few broken tapes?
