The problem here is bacula will not use these tapes without the labels
being in the database. For now forget about the wait option I talked
about. I believe you need to erase the label from each tape.

To do this you need to stop bacula-sd

then load a tape

and execute the following commands

mt -f /dev/st0 rewind
mt -f /dev/st0 weof

Then unload the tape. At this point I would restart bacula-sd and try
label barcodes again.

If this worked I would write a script that gets mtx to load tapes and
erase them so I would not have to manually label dozens of volumes.
