    Yes, the second output indicates we have 790 tapes in the Unsrestricted Media Sharing Group that are full.  This version will list the number of tapes by which media server "owns"those tapes (or in this case, the Unsrestricted Media Sharing Group).

    The first output just shows that media ID "NVJ901" is FULL.
