I should have looked...it's curious to be sure.

# ls -l /dev/tape
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Sep 29 21:02 by-id

# ls -l /dev/tape/by-id/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 29 21:02
scsi-1SEAGATE_ULTRIUM06242-XXX_HR00X0A-nst -> ../../nst0

and in checking on other systems, that seems to be consistent (/dev/tape
not being a symbolic link at all but rather having a subdirectory of
'by-id' with the actual tape device being linked there.

For now, I have given the bacula user the /bin/bash shell which does
allow the user to execute sudo supported commands.
