What Bacula version are you using?
I did have issues like that in the past, quite a number of years ago
though. I was using a stand-alone HP LTO-3 drive at the time. I
believe the drive was kicking back some sort of error that Bacula was
interpreting as being the end of the tape. The problems went away when
I switched to another tape drive (which happened to be an IBM instead of
an HP).
