An Admin job is another job type (see the docs).  I have an admin job 
that is scheduled with a priority of '1' that runs before any other 
scheduled job.  I also have several admin jobs with a priority greater 
then '100' that run after my backups.

Kevin is right, you probably should do a release instead of an unmount.  
Below is an admin job definition that is running on a windows director.  
All it does in call a script that releases the tape.

##########################
# ReleaseTape
##########################
Job {
  Name    = ReleaseTape
  Type    = Admin
  Level    = Full
  Client    = comp-fd
  Fileset    = None
  Messages    = Standard
  Schedule    = Daily_Backup
  Pool    = Tape-daily
  Spool Data= no
  Priority    = 101
  RunBeforeJob = "\"c:/program files/bacula/bin/adminjob.cmd\" ReleaseTape"
}
