Thanks. I was considering using the PSEUDO JOB concept since
there is a bacula-fd on the storage server. However, I was
wondering if I need to issue a RELEASE command to the DIRECTOR
before rewinding and ejecting the tape. When everything was on
one system I essentially did a RELEASE, followed by a tape rewind
and then eject.
Yes, but that should be run on the DIR machine using a console
command.
RunScript {
RunsWhen = before
RunsOnClient = No
console = "release storage=Whatever"
}
A RELEASE command does not necessarily close the device though. If
the mt command blocks, then the UMOUNT command should be used
instead of RELEASE. I'm not sure what the exact criteria is for when
RELEASE can be used instead of UMOUNT.

Ana and Steven,
If you have a bacula-fd installed on the storage
machine you can always use:
ClientRunBeforeJob = "mt -f /dev/st0 eject"
Unless it has changed, a Type=Admin job cannot execute scripts
on the client machine. To run a script on a client as a "psuedo"
admin job, define a second Type=Backup job for the SD that
selects no files to backup and add the ClientRunAfterJob script
to that job, scheduling/prioritizing the "psuedo" admin job to
be the last job to run.
I also suggest redirecting stdXXX for the mt command and running
it in the background.
RunScript {
RunsWhen = After
RunsOnClient = Yes
Command = "/usr/local/bin/bacula-eject.sh"
}
#!/bin/bash
# /usr/local/bin/my-eject.sh on the SD machine
mt -f /dev/st0 eject >/var/log/bacula/eject.log 2>&1
< /dev/null &
# eof
