HELP on missing savesets and client indexes

Hello to all,
Can somebody please tell me what might have happened or why might have caused this to happen?
I am trying to restore files from our month end tapes (5 months ago), according to the tape log we have these set of tapes, so I ordered them from offsite, loaded them in the jukebox and when I check what's inside the tapes - they are all blank/empty. I used 'mminfo -avot -c ' and that too didn't showed up any savesets for the month I'm trying to restore from. Manually loaded 1 tape from the month end set of tapes and started scanning using 'scanner -iv' and when done, I checked the tape and there savesets in there now and also mminfo is also showing the indexes.
I have this issue on 4 month end savesets or sets of tapes and that involves about 50+ tapes, so as much as possible I don't to use scanner on each of them, but is there another option to rebuild the media and client index from these tapes?

thanks in advance
