Dear Julien, The only thing I can suggest now is that you review what happens to the tape options via:
mt -f /dev/nst0 stoptions 0 grep st0 /var/log/messages Between backup and restore (i.e. before backup and before restore but after the mount command) in case they are being reset somehow (by the mount maybe?). The manual indicates that the error you are getting is possibly related to block positioning. As you have indicated it might also be a kernel issue.

Okay, I've added the "sg" module to the kernel but unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem (I've still those block.c:263 Volume data error at 0:0! Wanted ID: "BB02", got "". Buffer discarded messages) .... BUT ... I've tried with a 2.4 kernel and it seems to work !! It means that Bacula has still some problems with 2.6.x kernels (?) .. or simply that the my scsi card driver is buggy under 2.6.x ...
