Hi,

Could you try something like this:

bcopy -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -i LTO-4-0 -o LTO-4-1 /dev/nst2 
/dev/nst3

I have never used bcopy with two tape drives. In the bcopy documentation 
is a note about that this compliance with two tape drives has been never 
tested.

In addition I suggest to add debug to your bcopy command, eg.
bcopy  -d 400 -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -i LTO-4-0 -o LTO-4-1 
/dev/nst2 /dev/nst3

Good luck! :)
