[Bacula-users] bacula hang waiting for storage

I've got bacula currently in a hung state with the following interesting 
info.  When I run a status storage produces the following...

     Device is being initialized.
     Drive 2 status unknown.

Used Volume status:
[nothing further and the bconsole program hangs here]

Note that the last Writing line has no volume listed.  The odd thing is 
that there actually is a tape in IBMLTO2-1.  There's no tape in drive 
IBMLTO2-3.  The pool apparently needs another appendable volume and 
there are several available in the Scratch pool but bacula is stuck.

I tried to mount a volume into the empty drive and got back the following...
*mount slot=61 drive=2
Automatically selected Storage: Dell-PV136T
3001 Device "IBMLTO2-3" (/dev/nst2) is doing acquire.

Does anybody have any idea what to do to further troubleshoot this?  I 
have had some other instances of bacula getting hung up and so I have 
already previously applied the 2.4.3-orphaned-jobs.patch
