When I have seen this before it is becuase bacula has old information about
the tape location. Like if the tape was added to the changer or moved to a
different slot using the tape changer web interface or front panel, but
bacula's knowledge of tape inventory was not refreshed. In those cases i
have ran an 'update slots' operation from the bacularis volumes tab. Please
note that
it is necessary to specify the entire range of available slots (in my case,
'1-24'). The default slot value '0' does not mean 'refresh all slots' in my
experience.


In these cases I have also had good results manually moving the necessary
tape to the drive. After about 5 minutes or so bacula should recognize that
the correct media has shown up in the drive and resume the job(s) that are
waiting for that media. However, I am not sure if the bacula tape inventory
will remain out for date after the backup operation finishes. An update
slots task might still be necessary.

You should also be able to do an update slots task from bconsole, but I'm
unfamiliar with the exact syntax.
