This tape is no longer labeled by Bacula... it looks like there was a 
rewind operation while the tape was mounted by Bacula.

Make sure there are no rewinds while Bacula still has a tape in use... 
it renders your backups useless.

By the way: a SOS_LABEl is, AFAIR, a session label, not a volume label.


This has been discussed recently - most likely are manual 
intervention, third-party software, SCSI bus errors resulting in a 
device reset, and incorrect cabling or termination.
