If you are using a bacula earlier than 5.0.3 (I believe), then if there 
is a tape change during a backup, this can happen--when I've seen this 
issue, the tape was actually in a pool, it was (mostly) a display 
issue--however, it manifested that subsequent jobs couldn't start due to 
this, until the running job (that triggered the tape change) finished.  
In 5.0.3, I've heard some confirmation that this issue has been 
fixed--certainly I haven't seen the issue myself since switching to 
5.0.3, but I never saw it very often earlier--so my datapoints are 
incomplete.
