thanks for your reply
so now my script would be like this
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf <<END_OF_DATA
unmount storage=DLT
END_OF_DATA
unmount storage=DLT
END_OF_DATA
# the following is a shell command
/etc/bacula/scripts/delete_catalog_backup
### export TAPE=nst0
export TAPE=/dev/nst0
mt rewind
mt rewoffline
mt eject
/etc/bacula/scripts/delete_catalog_backup
### export TAPE=nst0
export TAPE=/dev/nst0
mt rewind
mt rewoffline
mt eject

You'd use this snippet in your script.

Also, one thing I overlooked in my previous post: With a DLT drive, you
can't usually eject the cartridge after rewinding, you have to offline
the drive, too. The combined command 'mt rewoffline' might thus already
solve your problem.
