My Experience with this Issue

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/26256757-post163.html

Requires the agent to post dummy segments in one of the reservations in order to get the bag tag to print out. My guess is that there was no inventory available on the flight to allow the agent to post the dummy segments. Agent could have called inventory management to ask for permission to temporarily oversell the flight.
