I was the one who put it on the web and I intentionally put _exactly_
the version that SLAC uses to avoid this sort of confusion.
Looking at the mps documentation it looks to me as-if "mps.scan" is
used to migrate newly created files _out_ from disk to tape, which we
do not do at SLAC with the system described as the SLAC example (new data
is migrated to mass storage from separate area for simplicity). Your
problem is when the files are staged back in, is that correct?
