The bacula-sd startup will rewind the tape, but Bacula should know about that.

If there is a fibre/SCSI reset without Bacula knowing about it, then that
could cause it.

I suspect that are no debug messages that would show anything useful here,
because bacula-sd is probably unaware of the problem.

If you have some way to query the actual tape position periodically then that
would be useful (I don't know if Linux has something similar, but FreeBSD's mt
status command reports this and it can be used on the control mode device even
if Bacula has the drive open).
