I dont think it's possible as Admin jobs dont have associated volumes as 
you are neither writing to nor reading from a volume.

You can either run the script as a 'Run After' job of your last backup 
(I do something similar by doing this with my Catalog Backup Job) or 
work out some scriptFU to determine the currently loaded volume name.

Thinking about it, you should be able to achieve this with a call to 
mtx-changer, however I'm not sure what the arguments would be off the 
top of my head.

Hope this helps,
