Have you really tested it?
Because, in my test and for what i've read, bacula-sd doesn't work on a fuse 
mountpoint.

I didn't know about the "Amazon VTL service", it's interesting: it will surely 
work with bacula, it's a fake tape-library but a real disk-based-backup.
The problem of VTL-vs-s3 it's only the price?
