Marcus,

I think that you should be seeing heartbeats in this case.  What version 
of the Storage Daemon server are you running?  I am looking at 5.2.10 
and up as far as the code.  Can you run it in debug mode?  If so, set 
the debug level to 400 and you should get some messages in the output if 
the heartbeat logic is working.

The heartbeat is sent from inside this method:

/* 

* Wait for SysOp to mount a tape on a specific device.
   Returns: W_ERROR, W_TIMEOUT, W_POLL, W_MOUNT, or W_WAKE 

*/
int wait_for_sysop(DCR *dcr)

Inside that method, there is a particular debug line:

Dmsg0(dbglvl, "Send heartbeat to FD.\n");

Anyhow, if you're not seeing this debug output then it is not sending a 
heartbeat for whatever reason.  If you see it then it is sending it so 
the problem lies elsewhere if you're still not seeing it arriving at 
it's destination.

hope this helps,
