Here is what I have in my working config for a DLT-IV drive:

Device {
  Name = DLT-IV
  Media Type = DLT-IV
  Archive Device = /dev/nst0
  Autochanger=no
  AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
  AlwaysOpen = yes;
  RemovableMedia = yes;
  RandomAccess = no;
  Maximum block size = 262144;
  Minimum block size = 262144;
  Spool Directory = /var/spool/bacula/tape
  Maximum Job Spool Size = 2G
  Volume Poll Interval = 5 minutes
  Close on Poll = Yes
  Offline On Unmount = Yes
  LabelMedia = Yes
}


I hope this is useful.
John
