You probably didn't run the tape testing procedures as indicated in the Tape 
Testing chapter of the manual -- in particular btape "test" and btape "fill".

Judging by your OS and Bacula version, you probably don't want BSFatEOF=yes or 
TWO EOF=yes in your config.  The default bacula-sd.conf file contains a 
default Device resource that works on most devices.  I'd also recommand (as 
is indicated in the manual) using /dev/nst0, though strictly speaking this 
should not be necessary.

I'd strongly recommend that you move up to 1.38.8.  1.36.3 is a good release 
but is no longer supported. Read the ReleaseNotes for gotchas such as 
database upgrading ...
