Hello.

What you report sounds similar to some problem reports before.

Under debian, I understand that bacula runs as user bacula.tape, not as 
root.root, right?

So I guess you should check the access rights for the library control 
device.

To make sure everything works, become user bacula and try the 
mtx-changer commands from the shell.

Hope that helps,

Arno
