Yes, the tape is loaded. When I tried using bscan earlier, it only
worked when the tape was loaded.

I'll try that later. Had to powercycle the autoloader as well as the
server. :-( Major SCSI hanging...

Maybe there's a fixed block size issue? I'm not really sure what went

or Bacula could not read it's volume labels.
