One thing that I see is that your LTO-6 points to an SG device and not an ST device. Since you now have a library I would think that you would want bacula to reuse the tape, if so then you should use an nst device and not the base st. The tape will rewind between jobs when you use the st device causing a long delay for bacula if it need to reuse for the next job.
I would recommend that you use a more specific path to your devices as the st and sg can change with kernel updates or new devices added or if you need to move to an new interface.

Just got this brand new Dell TL1000 with 8 slots and one drive as an upgrade from the old simple LTO-4 we have. Everything works fine on bash using the mtx-changer script, while on bconsole it does not. Any hint?
