A quick glance makes me think the commands don't match up.

/sbin/modprobe -r sbp2

I think you need to specify the -r the Cmnd_Alias.

Is that setting an environmental variable? I've never tried to do that in
the middle of a Cmnd_Alias definition.

> Cmnd_Alias EJECT=/usr/bin/eject

/usr/bin/eject /dev/sda2

I think you need to specify /dev/sda2 for the Cmnd_Alias.

You can put that all on one $line.

# lufthans ALL=(ALL) /usr/bin/apt-get update, /usr/bin/apt-get install *, \
#     NOPASSWD: /bin/tar x --atime-preserve -pvf -

Here's a setup I used to use.
