One of the benefits to upgrading to version 5.0.3 is that now when bacula 
sees that the tape has one more volfile than the catalog it will simply 
increment the catalog entry for that tape and continue using the tape. 
Previous versions marked the tape as error and then bacula never appends or 
recycles it.

Upgrade and this pain will go away for you.  :)
