[Bacula-users] Blocked waiting for tape that was auto-mounted?

Greetings,

I have been banging my head against the wall for a few days now.  I am 
hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

For about 3 or 4 days now, Bacula refuses to mount tapes and use them. 
If I start a job manually, the tape will mount, and the backup will not 
start. The interesting part is that bacula-dir is blocked waiting for 
the tape it just mounted!. "Status jobs" returns:

Device "TSDrive0" (/dev/IBMtape1n) is mounted with:
     Volume:      A00014L3
     Pool:        Default
     Media type:  LTO3
     Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume "A00004L3",
        Pool:        Default
        Media type:  LTO3
     Slot 22 is loaded in drive 0.
     Total Bytes Read=65,536 Blocks Read=1 Bytes/block=65,536
     Positioned at File=0 Block=0

mtx tells me:
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 22 Loaded):VolumeTag = 
A00004L3


If I somehow umount/remount the tape, and get it to start correctly, 
bacula will write to the end of the tape, and repeat the process for the 
next tape:

auto-mount correct tape, block waiting for tape to be mounted. This 
obviously happens with any tape status (Purged, Recycled, Append). In 
fact if the tape has been pruned/purged, bacula will mount the tape, 
recycle it, and then block.

Any ideas of what could have gone wrong here?

Thank you!
