I could be wrong here, but: I think the part they want you to print is only an OVERVIEW -- which disk entry and what number file it is on the tape. NOT a listing of individual files.
If your whole disk is bad, you don't need an index very much -- you won't want to restore individual files. You want to restore the whole disk. And therefore the short list (just the disk names) is useful. If I'm hearing both sides aright ..... But I could be wrong!
