Lee - I faced the same thing in implementing our "poor man's DRM", and
      after a lot of brain-wracking came up with the solution of having
our morning administration Server Script dynamically create, plant, and
execute a subsidiary Server Script to do the deed, like:

-------------------------------------
/* Get the volname of that backup and create a secondary script to eject it... 
*/
/* Get the volname of that backup and create a secondary script to eject it... 
*/
Query DRMedia DBBackup=Yes COPYstgpool=NONE BEGINDate=TODAY Format=Cmd -
 CMd="CHECKOut LIBVolume OurLibName &VOL CHECKLabel=No REMove=Yes" 
CMDFilename=/tmp/ADSM-DBB-EJECT-SCRIPT APPend=No
if (RC_OK) goto query_drm_eject_ok

DEFine CLIENTAction OurNode ACTion=Command -
 OBJects='mail -s "Query DRMedia failed for todays dbbackup" 
adsm-admin@OurFairCity </dev/null >/dev/null'
goto query_drm_eject_bottom

query_drm_eject_ok:

DELete SCRipt TEMP-DBB-EJECT-SCRIPT
DEFine SCRipt TEMP-DBB-EJECT-SCRIPT File=/tmp/ADSM-DBB-EJECT-SCRIPT
RUn TEMP-DBB-EJECT-SCRIPT

query_drm_eject_bottom:
