Because before you had this you got an error that was most likely caused by bacula trying to use the drive before it had finished loading the tape. The changer loaded the tape to the drive but the drive had not finished with its tape loading process.

Mine had the wait_for_drive part uncomented and I know I did not edit that file for my changer. Well if you can guarantee that wait_for_drive works reliably 100% of the time (this can fail on some os/version/ tape drives) I would say that you can get away without the sleep. One thing to mention, I know my tape drives always take 30 seconds to 1 minute to load the tape so a sleep in that range will not slow down the backup by much but it will make the chance of failure in this way lower.
