Looks quite close to a similar problem I've got recently.  I did have
some issues with my autoloader script (mainly since I normally want to
power off the loader while it's not in use, so the power cycling had
to be put into run before / run after scripts), which eventually
caused autoloader errors (mechanical positioning error and such).
These errors, in turn, appear to block the bacula-sd from accessing
the drive.

Issue a "status sd" command in bconsole, and have a look a the drive
status.

My remaining question about this still is: how to unblock a drive
/without/ restarting bacula-sd?
