We also noticed that with our CDLs, they won't remote copy the tapes if they're 
still in the drives.

One reason would be if you have some scripts for ejecting tapes, it would
not work if they are still mounted.

Just curious (and maybe I'm naive on this?), but why is there any
advantage in unmounting them? They'll just have to be reloaded for the
next backup, unless you're pulling them immediately after backups
complete. I've never done anything specific in jb setup to force
unmounting or not, and ours have always remained mounted after things
complete.
