I have documented my experiences here: https://dan.langille.org/ Search for mtx and mtx-loader. There are several configuration step and low level testing at the command line. This might be your best bet: https://dan.langille.org/2016/02/04/dell-tl4000-tape-library-running-btape-and-configuring-baculas-mtx-changer/ start slow. Make sure mtx-changer works. If you need to customize it, move it away from /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer ... I put mine at /usr/local/sbin well away from the installed one. Make sure all the steps with mtx-changer work: load, unload, loaded, list Then make sure they work as the bacula user (your SD should be running as bacula, not root; there is no need for bacula-sd to run as root). To get mtx-changer working, first make sure mtx works. Try what I tried and make sure it all works.
