IIRC it's caused by Bacula trying to read the tape to see if it's
already labelled prior to writing its own label.  Obviously if the tape
is new, there won't be anything on there.

I've seen the exact same thing across two tape drives (and indeed types
of tape media) for the last couple of years - it can safely be ignored.
