Super happy! Data is writing to tape!
Interestingly, this is what I see at the console, with a job based on dan's
example from his website, using SQL query to pick out jobs from a specific pool.
Running Jobs:
Console connected at 11-Jan-13 14:02
JobId Level Name Status
======================================================================
271 Full ArchiveMonthlyToTape.2013-01-11_14.03.42_06 is running
272 Full D0LPPB021_System_Backup.2013-01-11_14.03.42_07 is running
When I submit the ArchiveMonthlyToTape job to run, both of these 2 jobid's pop
up. I can see that the monthly filestore is open, and so far there is just
one file in the pool (only 1 monthly backup has run since I built this bacula
system).
[root@d0lppb021 ~]# lsof|grep /opt/backups/
bacula-sd 7159 root 5r REG 253,2 48025626350
20 /opt/backups/D0LPPB021-MNTH0011
the file is not growing, so I know its not writing (ie, not d0lppb021 is not
backing up).
Yep, and while I was writing this, I got this:
Terminated Jobs:
JobId Level Files Bytes Status Finished Name
====================================================================
272 Full 178,867 42.07 G OK 11-Jan-13 14:20
D0LPPB021_System_Backup
271 Full 178,867 42.07 G OK 11-Jan-13 14:20
ArchiveMonthlyToTape
So can someone explalin to me what im seeing here? Why did the copy job kick
off 2 jobids?

In my experience, this is likely the problem. In the URLs I pasted, you can
see how I tested and correctly those exact situations.

OK, Dan was right, further experimentation was required. Progress has been
made.
First, I added bacula to tape group, based on what I see here.
[root@d0lppb021 html]# ls -la /dev/sg6
crw-rw---- 1 root tape 21, 6 Jan 8 16:03 /dev/sg6
[root@d0lppb021 html]# ls -la /dev/nst1 /dev/nst1
crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 129 Jan 8 16:03 /dev/nst1
crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 129 Jan 8 16:03 /dev/nst1
then I change mtx.log so that bacula can access and write to it. I didn't at
first believe this was necessary, as bacula processes are running as root
(shown by ps command), but that doesn't mean that child processes might not be
forked as bacula user. I don't know, so I humor the concept. It seems to have
helped.
[root@d0lppb021 html]# ls -la /var/spool/bacula/mtx.log
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root bacula 133794 Jan 11 11:07 /var/spool/bacula/mtx.log
After the above changes, I now I have different output from the label barcodes
command:
*label barcodes
Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
The defined Storage resources are:
1: File
2: PV-TL4000
Select Storage resource (1-2): 2
Enter autochanger drive[0]:

The following Volumes will be labeled:

Do you want to label these Volumes? (yes|no): yes Defined Pools:
1: Default
2: Scratch
3: YearlyBackups
4: MonthlyBackups
5: FullBackups
6: IncrementalBackups
7: DifferentialBackups
8: TapeArchiveFullBackups
Select the Pool (1-8): 8

So things are looking much better now, I think I just need to figure out how to
wipe those tapes, and im GTG.
Thanks for the advice everyone!
