Your question made me take a step back... I've been in kind of a conundrum 
lately.  Over the last few months sometimes the problems I've had running 
bacula have cropped up after installing OS updates and the thought occurred 
to me that some of my issues could be due to the dynamically linked 
libraries being upgraded w/o bacula being recompiled.  So when I thought I 
was ready to build and install bacula 5.0.0 I figured that would be a good 
time to install the OS updates.  The first one that popped up was the 
update from 9.04 to 9.10 Ubuntu update.  So I went through that, then built 
and installed Bacula 5.0.0.  Then the problems started.

So now I've tried re-compiling Bacula 3.0.3 and installing that and it is 
having the same problems so the issue must be related to the Ubuntu upgrade.

My next thought was to try use "tar" to read and write from a tape.  That 
works fine:  I've been able to back up an entire directory and restore 
files from it.  I've also back up a single file and restored that file, 
comparing it to the original file and no differences were found.

Upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 brought along a ton of upgraded programs and 
libraries so I've no idea where to begin.

Has anybody got any other ideas?

     Bob
