What is the make and model of your library, _and_ your tape drives? I get this semi-regularly here with HP LTO2 drives and MSL6000 changer (Overland Neo 4000) Most of the time simply issuing a mount command inside bconsole causes the drive to be rescanned and unlocked, then the tape will eject and unload correctly. (Mount, device, slot 0) Last night we had scsi io errors which persisted because the tape had been ejected, yet hadn't been unloaded. In that case it was a matter of telling MTX to unload/reload the tape drive before bacula regained control of the situation. I believe this is a robot or fc/scsi bridge glitch, but HP have consistently dodged all questions on the issue and close trouble tickets as fast as they're opened... Ideally Bacula would attempt this stuff automatically instead of needing human intervention. I've tried to file a bugzilla on the problem, but Kern keeps closing it.
