We tried adding that entry to our vm.conf file as well, but it would crash 
the tldcd daemon.  We use a Storage-Tek L700 and AIX, not sure if it is 
hardware or OS specific, haven't had the opportunity to test it against 
other libraries and/or OSes.

If you looking to unload the CAP, just use:
         vmupdate -rt <robot_type> -rn <robot_num> -use_barcode_rules 
-empty_ie

What I do is plug

AUTO_UPDATE_ROBOT

into my vm.conf file.  Whenever I plug a tape into the mailslot, the slot
gets emptied and NetBackup catalogs the media if it hasn't been before. 
Then your media will show up in the library reports.

If you're really motivated, you could use robtest to view the status
of the mailslot.

Take care,
