This should be "mtx -f /dev/sg3 unload 2 0"

In this case the 0 is implied

To unload the other drive would be "mtx -f /defv/sg3 unload 21 1"

try these with bacula-sd not running first.

If they work and you have trouble when bacula-sd is going, then make 
sure you have released the tapes within bconsole before trying to move 
them around - and if bacula itself is reporting problems then make sure 
you have permisions set correctly for user bacula to execute commands 
("su - bacula" and try mtx again)

The thread a month ago was about the tape drives not being unlocked 
before bacula calls mtx - it's unknown if this is a bacula issue, a 
hardware issue or a race condition at this point.
