I am seeing this too. Additionally I'm getting multiple-hour hangs when trying "status director" in bconsole as it tries to check for jobs waiting to reserve a drive. The same hangs occur in the tray monitor. Having observed it for a while, it looks like anything using drive 1 causes drive 0 to be locked out, but using drive 0 does not lockout drive 1.
