If you want to do it at the end of a group, you could always try replacing the 
default NSR notification for "Savegroup completion" with a custom script which 
also does the tape eject via "nsrmm -j" (But don't forget : don't discard the 
group completion information which would normally come through). The 
disadvantage of this method is that the tapes remain in all the drives until 
the end of the group, whereas doing it from the post-processing part of 
savepnpc will ensure the tapes are ejected immediately on a client when that 
client has finished. If you do use the savepnpc method, pause a short while 
before ejecting tapes to allow the normal media verification to complete.

Actually neither of these installations have jukeboxes/autoloaders.   Both
servers have just scsi dds tape devices hung off the back.
I'll try the pre/post suggestion.  Didn't know if there was something
simpler that I was overlooking.
