I guess the other thing you could do, would be to take the list of tapes in VAULTRETRIEVE status, generate commands to check them in as PRIVATE , THEN compare the list of LIBVOLS against the list still in VAULTRETRIEVE to make sure they all got back. THEN move them to ONSITE RETRIEVE. But that will require some pretty messy scripting, also.
Hmm ... Can I check in a tape as private while it's in VaultRetrieve or CourierRetrieve? If I can do that, then I can generate a list of tapes in VaultRetrieve, move them to CourierRetrieve, and generate commands to check them in. If the checkin is successful, then I presumably have all my tapes back, and can move the whole list to OnsiteRetrieve. If the checkin fails, I need to go looking for tapes. Does this make sense? --
