I guess this was directed at me.  Anyway it was a huge help!

I'm starting to "get it."  I understand that this is all in the man pages, but I
have to crawl before I can walk, and the man pages seem to be written at a light
jog.

I have one remaining question, which I already asked, but was never answered. 
Is there a list of drives that "cannot reliably return an end-of-media
indication" out there?  Right now the disk is mostly empty, but that is likely
to change, and backups may end up spanning tapes.  I need to set this up so that
the scripts handle this, not the operator.  (Of course I don't mean the scripts
will change tapes . . .)

Thanks!
