Looks the same as my bug from a couple of days ago.

SD writes once to tape and doesnt increment the VolFiles in the
Database. Once the second job runs it gets a mismatch.

So far i havnt been able to turn something up where it could come from,
but looking at the sources i am partly unthrilled :-)

In case it helps, i turned my tape drives to maximum concurrent jobs 1
and so far it hasnt happened anymore, but i dont know if that was just luck.

I'm still investigating this issue, amongst other things (running all
daemons under daemontools for automatic restart and having cron scripts
check if the director has become unresponsive.... i dont think it should
be working this flakey).

Hope you can get your director to write to tape with concurrency set to 1.
