I know for example that in RHEL6 (which is basically a stable version of 
fedora) the /dev/st and /dev/nst devices no longer belong to group disk 
like the used to, but now belong to group tape. In a default config the 
bacula user will only be member of the disk group and not tape.

I ran into the same weird problem, but adding the bacula user to the 
tape group solved it. Maybe it's the same in fedora 15?

Jeremy
