[Bacula-users] Loosing my hope with HW Compression and bacula! [HELP!]

Hello people!

I Have a bacula verion backup-dir Version: 2.4.4 (28 December 2008) i486-pc-linux-gnu debian 5.0, intalled on a Ubuntu 9.1 server. I have 2 tape drives attached on this server (A DLT 40/80Gb and a sony SDX470V 40/102 GB).

I've ran btape on both tapes and everything is fine on the test.

So, I have a job, and the estimate command for this job says:
000 OK estimate files=94902 bytes=58,095,727,131

Something about 56Gb, that fits on my AIT tape right?

So, runing this job, I got this message:
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "AIT-1" (/dev/nst0)
Pool: Semanal
Media type: AIT-1
15-Jul 09:52 backup-sd JobId 8: Job Semanal.2009-07-15_06.51.40.17 waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.

This way I think: The tape is full and bacula is requesting a new one to finish the job. After this, I proceed the command estimate at the Storage daemon, and I got:

Running Jobs:

He writes abut 40GB And get the tape full. But with HW compression it must writes 100GB!

I Don't know what to do, I tryied everithing.
