A job calls for an appendable tape
A volume listing says the tape is appendable.
The tape is mounted in the drive.
It acknowledges that the tape is mounted and correctly reports the 
label, BUT director keeps squarking for hours for an appendable tape.

Where this happens is on full backup day when the final FULL job gets 
delayed until a DIFF job gets started because it has higher priority.

If I cancel the DIFF job, then Bacula gets hopelessly muddled and 
screwed up and fails to recognise the mounted FULL tape as appendable.

Nothing short of a complete reboot of the machine (involdes dir, sd & 
fd) will fix this foul up.

What is wrong in the programming that it persists in rejecting the tape?
