I am still experiencing this problem on a regular basis; not every job does this, but it seems a good 40% do each night. I cleaned both of my tape drives last night, but I still get the fatal errors. Here is another example:

I'm just not sure if why it gets NULL volume names -- is that coming from the tape library, or maybe something is corrupt in the database? Anyone else having/seen this problem?
