Are you sure that tape library drive index 0 is system device /dev/nsa0?
What mt -f /dev/nsa0 status show to you?
I bet that /dev/nsa1 is a drive index 0 and /dev/nsa0 is a drive index 1.

I do not understand your statement. In your log we can see:
sudo -u bacula btape -c /usr/local/etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/nsa0
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c:290 Using device: "/dev/nsa0" for writing.
24-Mar 10:20 btape: Fatal Error at device.c:298 because:
dev open failed: dev.c:513 Unable to open device "SL24-0" (/dev/nsa0):
ERR=Device not configured

24-Mar 10:20 btape JobId 0: Fatal error: butil.c:195 Cannot open "SL24-0"
(/dev/nsa0)
mandos#  sudo -u bacula btape -c /usr/local/etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf
/dev/nsa1
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c:290 Using device: "/dev/nsa1" for writing.
btape: btape.c:477 open device "SL24-1" (/dev/nsa1): OK

Which shows that /dev/nsa0 reports error and /dev/nsa1 is working fine.

YMMV but all is working as expected but you do not checked what drive is
what device in your system.
