I'm running on kernel-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 and not seeing the problems you are.
However, I have only been running that system several days.
I recommend the following things (obviously 2-4 are unnecessary if 1 fixes the
problem):
1. This still looks most like a kernel driver problem to me. Backing up to
kernel-2.6.16-1.2111 would most likely clear up this point.
2. Rebuild and reinstall Bacula (in case there are some library changes).
3. Clean your tape drive.
4. Mark the current Volume as Used and try a different one.
