Did the system pass all of the the btape tests from the Testing Your Tape
Drive With Bacula chapter of the manual?
If it did, it might be useful to find out what that tape contains by doing
bls -c bacula-sd.conf -j -V'*' /dev/nsa0
(you'll have to unmount it from bconsole first and then load the tape manually
in your autochanger).
Also, the output of
select * from jobmedia
where mediaid=(select mediaid from media where volumename='Tape41')
order by startfile;
would tell is what Bacula thinks it contains.
