Thankyou Tom Webster, Stephen LaBelle and Mandell Degerness for your
replies.
To add information to the NSR indexes concerning a tape not contained
within them, simply use
scanner -i <tape device>
I tried this and it works fine, although it can take awhile.
To find out what files are on the tape, without rebuilding the indexes,
use
scanner -c <client> <tape device> -x uasm
OR
scanner -is <SSID #gotten using mminfo> -c <client> -rvn
Note that I have not tried either of these.
