Which OS do you use? Usually, there a commands available to tell you which package a file belongs to. For example, running an rpm-based distribution: elf:~ # rpm -qf /etc/udev/udev.conf udev-030-9.2 Starting with that information, or knowing which OS you run, someone might have an idea... Oh, and of course you could always add a simple line like 'chown bacula.tape /dev/sg0' into the Bacula start script.
