Mount what though?  In order to mount a drive has to be loaded.  Not to
mention that update slots will unload that drive, but do it in such a
way that doesn't block.  Maybe thats it.  Maybe if I just do an update
slots it will unmount and unload in a non-blocking way.

The goal is so that when I'm done replacing tapes, update slots is all I
have to run (and it could be cron'd).  If the drive isn't blocked then
next time a backup is to happen bacula will automatically load the next
usable tape and mount it.
