My way around that is adding the directive:
RunAfterJob = "/usr/local/bin/bacula-eject"
to the (last) backup job, where /usr/local/bin/bacula-eject is the
script:
--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------
#!/bin/sh
# eject the tape from a standalone tape drive controlled by Bacula
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin ; export PATH
TAPENAME="LTO1"
TAPEDEV="/dev/nst0"
BCONSOLE="/usr/sbin/bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf"
MT="/usr/bin/mt"
# tell Bacula to release the drive
echo "unmount ${TAPENAME}" | ${BCONSOLE}
# tell the drive to eject the tape
${MT} -f ${TAPEDEV} eject
# tell Bacula to watch the drive for tape insertion
echo "mount ${TAPENAME}" | ${BCONSOLE}
# always signal success
exit 0

Normally you shouldn't need to change the tape status manually.
Bacula will automatically set it to the appropriate value according
to the pool parameters you set in the director configuration.
If it doesn't, you can probably fix it by adjusting your pool
parameters "Volume Use Duration" and/or "Maximum Volume Jobs".
If after that you still have problems, report them here so we can
discuss whether manually overriding the tape status is an
appropriate solution.
