Unattended backup failing with new tape drive

[aking]

Hi Guys
Running windows 2003 and ntbackup....
Gotta a batch file to do my backups - using the RSM.exe commands. Last line of batch file is:
rsm.exe eject /lf"Hewlett Packard LTO Ultrium-3 drive"

This fails now, error message - "unable to parse arguments".

when i do RSM view i see two instances of "Hewlett Packard LTO Ultrium-3 drive" - which makes sense as this server has had the original tape drive (faulty) replaced with an identical model yesterday.

Does anyone know how to refresh the rsm database so it only contains the online library friendly name?
Or if this is the wrong direction to take does anyone know the solution to this one?

/pf physical_media_id : Specifies the physical media to refresh, using the friendly name.

thanks, that works on a one-off basis. But i wasn't going to write a new batch file every day for each new backup.
i found out how to update the online library - was very simple:
ran the Computer management mmc.
Drilled down thru Storage/removable storage/libraries and deleted the duplicate library. Then batch file worked again.
Still don't know how one would do this on the command line.
Tho i assume there must be a way....
