This is exactly what I was seeing and the problem was intermittent, 
working OK for a tape or two then erroring out.

They will need to be using an autochanger. I believe this problem is 
tied up with the way bacula exercises the drive and the changer, in the 
SCSI sense.

A link in one of posts in the thread I referred you to has a comment 
from Kern (the author of bacula):

"I should not only mention the fact that Bacula tends to expose a lot of 
driver bugs AND hardware problems, both of which are difficult and time 
consuming to debug"
