I tried unmounting and mounting, releasing and mounting, both several 
times. Finally, I restarted the bacula-sd daemon, which caused the job 
to cancel with an error. Very strange. We will see what happens this 
weekend. Between this and the problem with the storage daemon dying 
haven't managed to do a full backup in a while. Incremental still going 
fine. Hope things go ok this week...

I have an Exabyte VXA-2 tape changer. Not sure how different this is 
from the 320.

thanks,
maria
