Bruce needs to handle this one.  The SCSI sense code is probably
coming back with an (invalid) size of 0; this was recently discussed
on the list, but I didn't pay much attention to it -- I'm not sure
if the latest SNAP will fix this or if you will need 2.1 when it comes
out or what.

You could probably manually do it, but the recent tool changes have made
me unsure as to exactly what you would have to do to get it to work.
