Savepnpc should be per-client.  There's no correlation between clients.
I'm not sure what's going on if your other groups appear to have
dependencies between the clients.

I discovered that there was reference to an old script (written by an
admin that no longer works with us) to a loop that tried to unmount the tape
until it was successful (when all writing has stopped).  I couldn't figure
out why it was there until now.  It seems a pretty cheesy way to do it.
I've now inserted the following shell snippet into the script on the server:

while [[ -n $(pgrep -x nsrexec >/dev/null 2>&1) ]]
do
       sleep 60
done

This should do the trick.

Thanks
