You'd use this snippet in your script.
wait_for_drive() {
for i in $(seq 180); do # Wait max 180 seconds
if mt -f $1 status | grep ONLINE >/dev/null 2>&1; then
# and, before you implement this, make sure your tape drive status
# is actually ONLINE after unmount from Bacula.
break
fi
# echo "Device $1 - not ready, retrying..."
sleep 1
done
}
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.

If you are right with your suspicion, you could wait for the tape to
become available before executing the commands. In the mtx-changer
script, there's a function wait_for_drive which you could use as a
template. Basically, it checks if the drive is ready, and if it
isn't it
waits some time and loops.
