I have similar problem with my old (10 years old) HP DDS2-drive. Often, when I 
insert a cardridge, it shows up as WR_PROT.

However, its not Bacula "marking" it so, it really happens as soon as the 
cardridge is mounted in. I use mt status to see it's in proper status before I 
mount it in Bacula. I sometimes needs many "mt eject" calls before it finally 
mounts as writable.

Good thing is that current Bacula (2.2.8) refuses to mount a WR_PROT-cartridge. 
I used to lose many backup jobs with 1.x versions, if I erred to mount the tape 
in Bacula, and the cartridge was in write protected mode.

Maybe a bad media, maybe a bad drive.. dunno.
