That would be a bad move, anyway, because remember that NetWorker
keeps its own view of what tapes are in what slots, and if you start
moving tapes around outside of its control, it's going to become horribly
confused.

There is no way to deposit tapes using the UNIX GUI that I am aware of.
The *windows* admin GUI has this feature, IIRC.  If your operator is on
a Windows NT/2000/XP desktop that requires them to log in to the desktop,
you could just give that account at that hostname admin access.  Then they
can use the Windows GUI to manage deposits and withdraws.

If your operators don't have access to a windows box, you're just going to
have to script something with nsrjb.
