The output below shows an autochanger problem when you ran btape fill:

> 02-Jul 16:27 btape JobId 0: 3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 1, drive 
> 1" command.
> 02-Jul 16:32 btape JobId 0: Fatal error: 3992 Bad autochanger "load slot 
> 1, drive 1": ERR=Child died from signal 15: Termination.
> Results=Program killed by Bacula (timeout)

Are you also seeing that problem for backups?
