Hi,
It strikes me that one might want to deal with virtual tapes when they
are moved out of a virtual tape drive and back to a slot.
This might take the form of a script that the sys admin provides that
does something special with the tape or whatever.
Here is one possible approach to doing that (I have not fully
implemented it, I only throw this out as a possibility):
