Yes :-)

This should be /dev/nst0, but that's more or less cosmetic. It only
helps if you don't keep this device open.

Is this really the host name of the machine running the SD?

Indeed that's what I'd expect... anyway, I don't have a solution here,
at least I don't see anything obvious.
It might help to know if the DIR and the SD run on the same machine (I
assume that). Also, try the "show storage" command and "status storage"
and compare the device names - might be an overlooked typo, or you
forgot to restart the DIR or SD after a configuration change.
Finally, if the above suggestions don't help, try running the DIR and
the SD with debug output enabled and redirected to a file (for example,
use 'bacula-sd -c ... -d 100 2>&1 >>/tmp/bacula-sd.debugout' as the
start command.
One more question / hint: Which version of Bacula are you running? The
configuration you give above is not correct for version 1.38.0 and above
- you need an "Autochanger"-section in the SD configuration then.
Hope that helps,
