[Veritas-bu] Barcode label oddity.

[Jeff Cleverley]

Len,

The library is a HP/Compaq MSL6000.  There is no virtual environment of any
sort involved.  I'm not aware that there was the option on this library to
set up different barcode rules.  The fact that NBU sees the full barcode
label properly seems to point me to NBU having something funny in it.

Thanks,

Jeff
