Hi Jeremy,
Since this sounds exactly like the root of the problem any chance of you
spelling out to this humble newbie how I'd check and fix that please?
Cheers!

Hi
I faced a very similar problem after upgrading from F14 to F15
I had the SD hanging on every operation
I tracked it to a permission problem.
It seems to have some sort of trouble while dropping privileges.
I "fixed" it editing the /etc/syscongif/bacula-sd file and setting
it like follows:
SD_USER=root
SD_GROUP=bacula
I don't like having the SD running as root so before doing that I
worked on permissions on the bacula SD storage area (I'm using the
File storage) with no luck.
Hope this points you in some useful direction.
You should really check which group owns the tape devices /dev/st0 and
/dev/nst0 (or (n)st1 or higher if there's more than one drive).
I'll bet it is now owned by the group "tape" instead of the usual group
"disk" it was in the past.
If that's the case you can just run the SD as user bacula and group tape :-)
Regards,
Jeremy
