Hi, Sorry, you missed the boat.  :)

Only after all the jobs have completed.

No, I have many jobs spanning many tapes.  This is ok.

Lets say I have 3 jobs spanning 2 tapes.  Job 1 spans tape A and tape 
B.  Job 1 runs OK.  Job 2 starts but stalls for some reason before 
writing.  The Volume Use Durations is then exceeded before Job 2 is 
corrected and finished.  Bacula then wants tape C.  I want Jobs 2 and 3 
to be on tape B only.  Then I want that last tape (B) marked used when 
all the jobs are done so that when the next nights jobs run, a new tape 
is written to.
