I've had this problem in the past, and the list archives have suggested 
that putting this into the Device stanza of the sd config file is the 
correct solution (google it and you should find examples in the bacula 
manual)

   Offline On Unmount = yes;

Unfortunately, this has the (IMO) unwanted side effect of ejecting the 
tape after using the 'label' command.

I'd be interested in a better (i.e. not ejecting after 'label') solution.
