This could be your problem. How do you know that udev always assigns 
/dev/sdb1 to the USB drive when it is plugged in?

This could be a problem too. AutomaticMount=yes line should be removed. 
I think it is deprecated, but perhaps it can still cause problems.

This should probably be 'Yes' to tell Bacula to search for a usable 
volume on the drive.

Because AlwaysOpen=no, Bacula expects to have to open the device before 
using it. Also, because RequiresMount=yes, Bacula expects to have to 
mount the device before opening it. So this might be a misleading 
message, meaning that manual mounts are not allowed for the case where 
AlwaysOpen=no and RequiresMount=yes??
