What version of Bacula are you running?
Can you send me the output of "list volumes" command?

I am trying to debug the script and it seems that my output is different then 
your output.

I am attaching the sample of "list volumes" command output. First one is the 
disk pool and second one is the tape pool, I do not see "Tape:" in the tape 
volume.
