It does appear that way. Are you using encryption and/or (software)

You might be able to accomplish this with a short script that identifies

Before you start forcibly changing bacula's notion of what tapes are
full and what tapes are empty, you might want to try to figure out WHY
bacula thinks your "empty" tapes are full. I'm certainly no expert, but
my guess would be that this is a symptom of a larger problem. I noticed
