Stephen and Tom both provided the same answer; that it is a "bug"
in NSR V5.2. There is a workaround and I provide Tom's write up:

Apparently the configuration definitions for the TL810 are bollixed up
in NSR V5.2 and by changing the name of the device to 'other' you
cause NSR to query the actual configuration rather than depend on
internal specifications. Kinda makes you wonder why they even have
the internal specifications...
Yes, I used this workaround and I can now access all four ports in the
import/export door again!
Many Thanks guys!

NSR Jukebox users:
I have just recently upgraded NSR from V4.2B to V5.2. I have enablers and
authorization codes for Server, Client and 64-port Loader. My jukebox is
a DEC TL810 (the one with 48 storage slots, 4 TZ88 drives and a 4-slot
import/export door).
Under NSR V4.2 I was able to access all four of the import/export slots by
specifying "-P <n>" on the nsrjb command. Now with NSR V5.2 when I try to
use any value on the "-P" option, I get an error that "<n> may not be
greater than 'physical slots:0-0'". My jukebox responds to id requests
identifying itself as a TL810, I have even deleted and reconfigured my
NSR jukebox media entry. I cannot find any reference in the nsrjb.res to
'physical slots' in the jukebox configuration.
Anybody out there using NSR V5.2 and TL810 jukebox and accessing all ports
in the import/export?
