    The "eject after job completes" is not applicable when you are using a tape library.  This option is for ejecting tapes when you are using a stand-alone tape drive.

    When you use a tape library and you want to "eject" the tape, then you must do the following

    1) enable a mail or I/O slot in your library.

    2) add an export stage in your job.  This will export the tape after the backup to the mail or I/O slot so that you can remove it from the library.
