Does the user "bacula", or the group "tape" have permission to access /dev/sg3?

Thanks,
Thomas

So far bacula works fine for everything but controlling the autoloader. The 
mtx-changer script works fine for controlling the autoloader so this is 
puzzling.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Backula Autoloader Weirdness


Hi All,

I am having a little bit of trouble getting bacula (From Debian Sarge) to work 
with my Overland Neo2000 Autoloader.

From the console I try to label a tape and get the following:

### <Output> ###

Connecting to Director jet:9101
1000 OK: jet-dir Version: 1.36.2 (28 February 2005)
label
Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula
The defined Storage resources are:
        1: TAPE
        2: DVD
        3: RAID-DISK
        4: DISK
Select Storage resource (1-4): 1
Enter new Volume name: Full_1_08-12-2005
Enter slot (0 for none): 1
Defined Pools:
        1: Default
        2: Diff
        3: Scratch
        4: Full
Select the Pool (1-4): 4
Connecting to Storage daemon TAPE at jet:9103
Sending label command for Volume "Full_1_08-12-2005" Slot 1 ...
3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command.
3991 Bad autochanger "loaded drive 0" command: ERR=Child exited with code 1.
3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 1, drive 0" command.
3992 Bad autochanger "load slot 1, drive 0": ERR=Child exited with code 1.
Label command failed for Volume Full_1_08-12-2005.
Do not forget to mount the drive!!!

### </Output> ###

Here is the Storage directive for the TAPE device in bacula-dir.conf file:

### <File> ###

Storage {
        Name = TAPE
        Address = jet
        SDPort = 9103
        Password = ""
        Device = Quantum-SDLT
        Media Type = SDLT
        Autochanger = yes
}

### </File> ###

Here is the Device directive for the Tape device in bacula-sd.conf file:

### <File> ###

Device {
        Name = Quantum-SDLT
        Media Type = SDLT
        Archive Device =  /dev/nst0
        LabelMedia = yes;
        Random Access = no;
        AutomaticMount = yes;
        RemovableMedia = yes;
        AlwaysOpen = yes;
        Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
        Changer Device = /dev/sg3
        Autochanger = yes
        Alert Command =  "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}

### </File> ###

mtx works fine to control the auto loader, as does the mtx-changer script.

/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer /dev/sg3 load 1 /dev/nst0 0

This dutifully loads the tape from slot 1 into the drive.

Any Insight into this problem?

Cheers,
Silas Bennett
