Hope someone can help me with this one,  here is my config first

Networker 7.32 on windows 
STK SL8500 library with 22 LTO drives
mounts and dismounts are controlled by the mainframe.
We connect via libattach to libstation ( this is ACSLS for mainframe)
 
here is the issue:
in legato we try to unmount a tape that is bad and is stuck in the drive,  that 
process fails, on the mainframe side the operators run an eject command to the 
drive and are able to remove the tape, at this point legato belives that the 
tape is still in the drive.
In my case i need it to restart the legato services, as soon as i did that here 
is the error 
Invalid update on jukebox ? slot 59 is loaded in drive ?0,2,1,3?, drive status 
is not occupied.the library on reboot disables itself

after many hours with legato tech the final solution was to run a jbconfig, has 
anyone else had a similar issue? is there a way via nsradmin to tell legato 
that the drive is empty and force an update of it's database?

any help would be appriciated 
this is the second time in 2 months i had to do this
