It looks to me that this doesn't unload more tapes than the capacity of
the load port.

I've never written a script to do just that, but I would imagine you'd
run something like the above to fill the CAP, then run sjirdtag or
similar in a loop to see when the port has been emptied.  Once you see
it empty, continue withdrawing volumes.
