Btape bombs out if there is not a tape loaded. I have to manually load a
tape, also if bacula-sd is running, I have to first release the drive,
then manually load the tape and then run btape.

I thought bacula kept track of where the tapes were loaded from. The
reason I suspect this is that before I had udev map the drives based on
WWID, tapes would get swapped when the drives did not come up in the
same order. The mtx command showed the correct slot loaded in the drive,
but Bacula would switch them.
