I do bacula for desktop backups so there's tons of issues that could 
create a situation where the bacula-fd doesn't complete the job (i.e. 
user reboots due to slowness, network problem, etc).  Any ideas for how 
to gather more info to report it as a bug?  I've had probably 10 or more 
tapes in the last month get marked as Error.
