this is what I use, but on the next bacula run, bacula kept wanting to
load the tape prior to take into consideration that the tape was past
the expiration time of usage.

The big issue is the fact that the tape is no longer in the library 
since it is gone for safe keeping. So bacula finishes by dieing, until I 
restart it and manually mark the tape as "full".
