Did you erase the tapes before re-running the backups?

I would recommend first to completely erase the tape(s), run "btape"
to make sure everything is working fine and then start testing the
actual backups. Capture the output while running "btape" and go
through it line by line to make sure you don't have even a single
error.

BTW, I forgot to mention I'm running Bacula version 2.2.6 on RHEL4 and
2.4.3 on RHEL5.2.

HTH,
Win
