Yes, this is undoubtedly the problem. With earlier versions of Bacula, you
could unmount a tape almost any time, but with version 1.38, it *knows* what
tape is in what drive, and if you suddenly remove a tape without telling it,
it will cause problems.
Modify your "run after" script to do a Bacula "unmount", then rewind and eject
the tape, followed by a Bacula "mount" at that point, it should be OK.
Alternatively, you might be able to set a Poll Interval and get it to work --
the problem is that I have not tested polling recently ...
