You could do
label pool=Default storage=xy slots=1-5,7-16
or the like to not label a tape in slot 6 at all.

Indeed, most definitly you don't want to use this with a new tape. This
saves me finding an answer to the actual question ;)

Best guess: you (accidently) activated the write protection on the
tape. Take it out and check.
If this is not the issue: try writing to it while bacula-sd is stopped,
e.g.
mtx load 8
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind (just in case)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nst0 bs=1024 count=100
-> If there is an error, it is quite likely to be a bad tape.
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
mt -f /dev/nst0 eof
then start bacula-sd and try labeling again.
