John,
Thanks for the reply. I'm testing this on a Solaris x86 platform.
Blastwave is a software repository that can be accessed with pkg-get to
install precompiled binary packages onto Solaris systems. My Magnum 224 only
has 1 LTO-3 drive. What I am having issue with at the moment is what device
to configure in my Autochangers resource, or how to even tell what the robot
is recognized as. My system sees the tape drive itself as /dev/rmt/0 (with
all the associated 0ln, 0l, 0b, etc...)

I am not sure what Blastwave is but I have been using a 2 drive LTO2
Exabyte Magnum 224 with bacula under 64 bit gentoo linux for just over a
year now. I have recorded around 10TB of data on the archive and for the
most part it works great with bacula. In the past I had drive locking
problems with bacula 1.38.X. There have also been some issues with
suboptimal usage of the two drives (see the list archives) but this appears
to be fixed in the 2.1 series.
