Veritas BE9 - Media Removal

[FunTechie]

Good morning all.
I have a Windows 2000 server, Veritas BE 9, and a small Dell Tape Library(Powervault). When I insert and label new media in the Powervault, everything works well. However, this server is an upgrade to an older server, now when I insert media from the old server to be used by the new server, I label this "old" media within the Powervault but the "Media" tab within Veritas BE 9 displays 2 tapes of the same number. For example, I insert an old tape #000100 and label this tape as such and enter a description of 200100 within the Powervault. After this process, I go into Veritas BE 9, click the "media" tab, and find 2 tapes with the number of 000100: 1 with my description of 200100 and 1 without. This does not seem to be a problem until I try to delete the incorrect tape. I can not seem to find a way to delete or remove the duplicated tape number not to mention that I am curious as to why this software insists on doing this bizarre action. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks to anybody who may have read and considered this post. I've found BE9 to be somewhat flaky over the last several months. In any event, sometimes the little stuff gets me and this is one example. I simply closed and restarted the application giving me an accurate view of all media without an duplications. Thanks again.
