    two step - just to make sure you are doing it right.

    Proper- eject - tells you to remove the tapes from the map and asks you do you want to proceed - and you say yes -  this only works if you ACTUALLY remove the tapes from the MAP.  You then have to give it time to scan the MAP to make sure all tapes have been removed... This might be your close issue - give it time to rescan the MAP.

    ----------------------------------------

    How must people do it.  

    Select your tapes

    say eject

    it moves the tapes to the MAP

    it asks if you want to continue (if you say yes but do NOT remove the tapes from the MAP it will put the back)

    say NO.  give it a little bit to come back and say eject successfull for each tape.

    Now any time you want go remove the tapes from the MAP and at the same time you can refill the MAP with scratch tapes.

    Now go back to console and do the inject.
