We use the exact same hardware, but with 16 tapes. /dev/nst0 works like a
charm.

Just to be sure: you have detected the SCSI device in the OS? Initialy the
DELL PV 124T has a high enough SCSI id not to be detected automaticly at
startup by a few OS:es. We've manualy had to add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

        echo "scsi-add-single-device 0 0 6 1" > /proc/scsi/scsi

on our CentOS 3.8 server. YMMMV, of course.

Our server came with blank tapes so there were no problem with labeling. How
about unmounting them from bacula, feed them to the drive manualy using mtx
and erasing them with "/bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 erase"?
