etc...
As far as I can tell what you observe is, well, not exactly a bug but
rather a workaround for a problem between Bacula, you OS and the tape
hardware. It happens when you've got no tape laoded in a tape drive, and
Bacula tries to access the tape (to read its label, I assume).
I'd expect to find Bacula working without any problems after it finally
decides to accept the tape drives as empty, but functional.
If you want to avoid this delay you'd have to pre-load tapes to the drives.
