Hello, i've got a similar issue.

Device "Driver1" (/dev/nst0) open but no Bacula volume is currently mounted.
    Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume "A0000001",
       Pool:        LunesPool
       Media type:  VXA-X23
    Slot 1 is loaded in drive 0.
    Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0
    Positioned at File=0 Block=0

Usually backups gets fine, but sometimes it gets the following messages:

    Storage:      "Driver1" (/dev/nst0)
    Pool:         LunesPool
    Media type:   VXA-X23

I've read a lot of user lists but the solution is never shown.

To solve this situation, I send an unmount and after a mount whith the slot 
which belongs to the pool. Then, the job works perfectly, but the problems 
comes another day.

I need some help. Thanks.
