Actually, as a result of my testing last week with umount, my weekend
backups didn't run; umount only logically unmounted the tape, and then
Bacula sat there waiting for someone to manually (logically) remount the
tape. And the manual actually says:
If you have an autoloader, the mount command will not cause
Bacula to operate the autoloader.
Which is, I guess, what I need. Bacula is operating the autoloader for
the actual backup, it just keeps the tape in the drive when the backup
is finished. It looks like it's calling a program, mtx-changer, to do
the actual magic, so I'm going to experiment with that once my weekend
backups have completed.

Those aren't commands. Commands are those that appear in the list when
one types "help."
Try 'umount' and see what the next step in the script should be. All
you're looking to do is write a sequence of console commands -- no
different than running them at the console.
If you don't know what the console commands are, read the manual.
