I have seen Networker get very confused when removing tapes from the drives 
themselves. If you try and unload the drives or inventory after removing the 
tapes from the drives instead of the slots the tapes were originally in this 
causes a big issue. Unload tapes from drives  back to home slots before 
ejecting.

Subject: [Networker] Simplfy Media Mangement nsrjb scripts

Hi All , in an effort to simplify media management (read offload to someone 
other then me)

I have a script that will examine the jukebox contents and withdraw the tapes 
based on my selection.


should i attempt an unload before I withdraw or is this not required

eg.
if vol1 and vol2 are loaded in drives  and ask to withdraw vol1 ,
vol2 ,vol4

what will happen
