I think I've spoken too early..

I don't have a mistake now, but nothing happens.. 

lan-backup01-dir shell command: run BeforeJob
"/opt/bacula/sysconf/mount_tape"
 BeforeJob: Connecting to Director lan-backup01:9101
 BeforeJob: 1000 OK: lan-backup01-dir Version: 5.0.1 (24 February 2010)
 BeforeJob: Enter a period to cancel a command.
 BeforeJob: mount storage=Tape
 BeforeJob: Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog
 BeforeJob: Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
 BeforeJob: 3001 OK mount requested. Device="LTO-2" (/dev/st0)
 BeforeJob: You have messages.
 Start Backup JobId 146, Job=BackupCvsOnTape.2010-05-27_10.24.19_41

I remember the old times when recycling was working, I saw in the log the
prune, recycle, relabel etc.

There is nothing here, the process is frozen..

Any idea ?
