First off, a word on organization: please post different questions/problems in different threads. Your thread will become part of the knowledge base here and basically if someone searches for "how to eject a tape" he should not have to wade through "how to back up a file system". Thanks.

To be on the save side use

this will rewind the tape and only then eject it. This way you can be sure to have only rewound tapes ejected. In theory the hardware should take care of that automatically but it doesn't hurt to be cautious.

I hope this helps.
