it seems that the bacula-sd daemon have no permission to write on your tape device. You probably runned the ./btape test as root, and the bacula-sd daemon runs as another user (ex: tape). You should either change the permission on /dev/nst0 (dirty) or add the bacula daemon to the correct group (look at /dev/nst0).

 Hello,
I have installed bacula-1.38.1 from tarball on rhel3 kernel 2.4.21-4.ELsmp.

./btape test executed without any problem.

Problem started only after starting the bacula service.

1) at ./bconsole, when i see the status for Storage, it give me the following error,
"Device "Super DLT320" (/dev/nst0) is not open or does not exist.

2) when i run the job, I get the following error,

25-Nov 18:56 bacula-sd: client7.2005-11-25_18.56.36 Fatal error: dev.c:387 dev.c:381 Unable to open device "Super DLT320" (/dev/nst0): ERR=Permission denied 25-Nov 18:56 bacula-sd: client7.2005-11-25_18.56.36 Fatal error: device.c:299 Unable to open device "Super DLT320" (/dev/nst0): ERR=dev.c:381 Unable to open device "Super DLT320" (/dev/nst0): ERR=Permission denied

What could be the problem, and how can this error be solved.
Thanks in advance,
