Don't have exact error, but this problem is solved. I neglected to include the
drive number, thinking, in my ignorance ('ignernce' if you're from the South),
that, since there is only one drive, it was not necessary. This command works:
*mount storage=Auto slot=5 drive=0

Yes. All labeled.

Yes. That was one of my first lessons. No tapes have been changed, and list
volumes shows them all correctly.

Yes. I was concerned about getting the backup running and finished this
morning. I did not note the error messages, but here is a section of the log
file:
26-Aug 00:10 bacula-sd: End of Volume "A0000004" at 224:7722 on device "VXA3"
(/dev/nst0). Write of 64512 bytes got -1.
26-Aug 00:11 bacula-sd: Re-read of last block succeeded.
26-Aug 00:11 bacula-sd: End of medium on Volume "A0000004"
Bytes=210,408,984,576 Blocks=3,261,547 at 26-Aug-2007 00:11.
26-Aug 00:13 bacula-sd: 3307 Issuing autochanger "unload slot 4, drive 0"
command.
26-Aug 00:14 bacula-sd: 3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 5, drive 0" command.
26-Aug 00:15 bacula-sd: 3305 Autochanger "load slot 5, drive 0", status is OK.
26-Aug 00:15 bacula-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 0" command.
26-Aug 00:15 bacula-sd: 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 0", result is Slot 5.
It repeats the 3301 and 3302 lines nine times, then shows the following:
26-Aug 00:15 bacula-sd: Please mount Volume "A0000005" on Storage Device "VXA3"
(/dev/nst0) for Job GIS_One.2007-08-25_17.35.00
and repeats it five times, then does 3301 and 3302 again. Next is this:
27-Aug 07:34 bacula-sd: GIS_One.2007-08-25_17.35.00 Error: block.c:993 Read
error on fd=6 at file:blk 0:0 on device "VXA3" (/dev/nst0). ERR=Input/output
error.
27-Aug 07:34 bacula-sd: Please mount Volume "A0000005" on Storage Device "VXA3"
(/dev/nst0) for Job GIS_One.2007-08-25_17.35.00
At 8:17 I finally got the tape loaded, as I described, and the backup proceded.
And that's all I know right now.
