Yes, unfortunately.
I tried the whole testing again and it fails unless I set two EOFs.

 Yes.
 
 I have:
 
  Device {
Name = LTO-4
Description = LTO-4 for FreeBSD
Media Type = LTO-4
Archive Device = /dev/nsa0
AutomaticMount = yes;   # when device opened, read it

Hardware End of Medium = no
BSF at EOM = yes

Fast Forward Space File = yes
TWO EOF = yes
Maximum File Size=2GB
  }
 
 And:
 
  # mt geteotmodel
  /dev/nsa0: the model is 2 filemarks at EOT

Hmm, OK.

Did btest only work when you used two eof mode?  I find that single eof mode
works fine with an LTO-1 drive on FreeBSD 8 (but it has to be changed on boot
using mt -f /dev/sa0.ctl seteotmodel 1.

 Hello.
 
 This has been brought up several times, but I can only find questions, 
 not a definite answer.
 
 I have a LTO-4 tape drive on FreeBSD 7.3/amd64.
  # camcontrol devlist
  TANDBERG LTO-4 HH W519   at scbus0 target 2 lun 0 (sa0,pass0)
 
 I can write tapes and restore them, but, after a reboot or after I 
 unmount the tape, I cannot append to them anymore. This happens with 
 every tape.
 I'm using bacula 5.0.3 and I remember this used to work in the past; 
 however I cannot remember when it stopped working.
 
 What bacula says:
  26-Oct 07:27 golia-sd JobId 16763: Volume Out001 previously written, 
  moving to end of data.
  26-Oct 07:43 golia-sd JobId 16763: Error: Unable to position to end of data

 I can complete all the tape tests with no errors.
 
 What should I do?

Does the setting of TWO EOF in the bacula-sd.conf match what is reported by
the drive after you reboot?  E.g.

mt -f /dev/sa0.ctl geteotmodel
