I use the following for my DLT drive that automatically ejects the
tape when it is full.
Device {
Name = DLT-IV
Media Type = DLT-IV
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
Autochanger=no
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Spool Directory = /var/spool/bacula/tape
Maximum Job Spool Size = 2G
Volume Poll Interval = 5 minutes
Close on Poll = Yes
Offline On Unmount = Yes
LabelMedia = Yes
}

You never have to reboot. if the job will not cancel restarting the
storage daemon will do the trick. For me this is
/etc/init.d/bacula-sd restart
