This appears to be a problem with device permissions rather than bacula.  What 
are the permissions on /dev/nst0?  Does the user under which you are running 
bacula have sufficient permissions?  Have you run the tape drive verification 
procedure in the bacula manual?  Perhaps you have and I am coming in late on 
a thread, ignore if you've done all this.

  
Nope this is a new thread...

I didnt see the tape verification stuff, I'll try that now. Also I'd like to report that i got the tape to unmount successfully by putting in the mt -f $4 offline in the mtx-changer :)

The permissions are OK, root should have sufficient access, especially since I can run the commands and they work. I'll get to work on the verify thing.

Thanks for the quick response,
