I discovered a similar problem today with a fresh bacula 1.38.5
install on debian sarge. bacula-sd is runnin as user bacula.
Select Storage resource (1-2): 2

After changing the group ownership to bacula, everything is fine and I
can work with the changer from bconsole.

I can live with these group settings, but I would like to understand
why it didn't work with user bacula as memeber of the tape group?
