Interesting. The command to eject a tape from a SCSI Sequential Access
device is the same as the one to do a spin down on a SCSI hard drive :)

Are you sure your backup software is not, like Arkeia, sending the
EJECT to a generic device (/dev/sga or /dev/sg1), and that the
first device (in order from small SCSI IDs to big ones) is really
your harddrive.

If yes, change Arkeia to use /dev/sgb (or /dev/sg2)

:)
