RSM Eject and VIEW commands syntax are slightly different from WINDOWS 2000
and Windows 2003 Server. I am having difficulty in deciphering the syntax of
the commands. No examples are ever given. As a result, a simple task like
automating an EJECT command is not working. Cryptic messages such as
'Unable to parse argument", or "Unable to convert Pmid to friendly name" do
not offer enough information to halp make the adjustment. I've tried to run
the RSM VIEW command, in order to see the actual values of the device in
question, but this too gets cryptic failure message such as "Unablet to Parse
argument" and ""additional arguments required"

The 'syntax' descriptions of the NTBACKUP and RSM commands are horribly
insufficient to determine a straightforward utilization. Can anyone tell me
how to get the RSM VIEW command syntax to at least display the elements that
the RSM command will need in order to process a simple eject. (I had this
working fine until I added an LTO2 tape drive. The old command string works
fine for the legacy tape drive, but applying the same syntax to the new tape
drive fails. Obviously something is missing, but I can't tell what.
