I don't have a StorageLoader, but I have the standalone firewire VXA-320
tape drive, and FreeBSD sees it just fine and it works with bacula:

sa0 at sbp0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
sa0: <EXABYTE VXA-3a 3222> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-3 device 

As someone else noted, MacOS doesn't have the standard Unix tape drivers, so 
if you plug the tape drive into a Mac, bacula won't be able to do anything
with it.  I'd expect it'd work with Linux though, assuming Linux treats 
firewire tapes or other devices as SCSI ones just like FreeBSD does.
