After banging my head on the keyboard for a while, I built up enough courage to post this. The problem was an I/O error with one of the machines in the backup list. Apparently, 3 slices of one physical disk weren't functioning properly. It appeared to be a SCSI issue. I'm still not sure why nobody reported this to me in 2 weeks (I don't use the filesystems), but that's beside the point. I never understood why and it was careless to never figure out, but that one machine never logged the backup process in detail, like the other machines. I ended up altering my jobs to backup individual filesystems and found that some had I/O errors and caused the job to count the tape files wrong. So the confusion can be blamed on my laziness. I've learned alot more about work ethics than I have about backups, in this case. Thanks for all the help.

sup-import-dump
SUP-IMPORT-DUMP(1) General Commands Manual SUP-IMPORT-DUMP(1)
NAME
sup-import-dump - import message state dump to Sup index
SYNOPSIS
sup-import-dump [options] dumpfile
DESCRIPTION
Imports message state previously exported by sup-dump into the index. sup-import-dump operates on the index only, so the messages must
have already been added using sup-sync. If you need to recreate the index, see sup-sync --restore <filename> instead.
Messages not mentioned in the dump file will not be modified.
OPTIONS
--verbose, -v
Print message ids as they're processed
--ignore-missing, -i
Silently skip over messages that are not in the index
--warn-missing, -w
Warn about messages that are not in the index, but continue
--abort-missing, -a
Abort on encountering messages that are not in the index (default)
--atomic, -t
Use transaction to apply all changes atomically
--dry-run, -n
Don't actually modify the index. Probably only useful with --verbose
--version
Show version information
--help, -h
Show help message
