[Bacula-users] Problems appending to a Tape

When trying to write/append some data to an existing labelled and
mounted tape I get:

*messages
12-Nov 16:56 backup-sd JobId 12120: Job
backup-data.2008-11-12_16.56.30 waiting. Cannot find any appendable
volumes.
Please use the "label"  command to create a new Volume for:
    Storage:      "Dell-PV-110T" (/dev/nsa0)
    Pool:         Default
    Media type:   LTO-2
*list media Pool=Default

Why can my system not find any appendable volumes? It appears that the
default Pool is ready to append to Volume Name: BG7385.

In general, I find adding, mounting and labelling new tapes a bit
confusing, especially when this is being done to an existing running
system.
