    After dealing with a failed robot and a failed drive and 4 weeks of shipping bad products, we have finally got a working library again...

    In the meantime, I opened a support call with Symantec and after checking several settings, it appears that the issue is related to the Global Attributes -> Maximum Jobs per client.  After changing this from 1 to 99 and then using the client settings to limit other clients besides the SQL server to 1, the issue with multiple rewinds, unloads and loads during the same SQL server backup is solved.

NBRB_MPX_GROUP_UNLOAD_DELAY is described in Admin Guide II for Windows and Unix

I've done it on UNIX, as new entry in bp.conf, in windows you should to use bpsetconfig or add it directly to registry
You will not find this option in GUI. It's not "Media Request Delay".
