It looks as if you may have some networking problems between your director
and file daemons.  Specifically:

"13-Sep 09:33 bacula-atl2-dir: tsbackend1.2006-07-26_00.00.08 Fatal
error: Network error with FD during Backup: ERR=Connection reset by
peer"

I recommend using the "status client" and "estimate" commands to ensure
that the communication between director and file daemons is set up
correctly.  These are both low-risk commands, as they don't back anything
up or alter any data in any way.  Note that "estimate" can take a long
time on machines with lots of data.

It looks as if you're confused about labelling as well, since you tried
to write over an existing tape.  This would not normally be what you'd
want to do, but if you really do, you'll need to delete the media from
the pool first.

Can you simply find the tape that Bacula wants to use and ensure that it's
in the tape drive?
