Exact same thing happened to me a few weeks back.
Drive ate the tape. DDS is notorious for this.
Thanks,

Subject: [Bacula-users] tape did not come out
After some weeks where everything worked perfectly fine, yesterday the tape did not come out.
I am using a daily tape rotation as explained in the manual:
http://bacula.org/rel-manual/Backup_Strategies.html#SECTION000283000000000000000
The error I got is:

Last week monday, with the same tape, (and the week before and the week before ...) everything went perfectly fine.
I honestly do not see what the error could be. My bacula-dir.conf is similar to the one in the example, if it is necessary I will post it to the list (I have not done so because the message is already quite long). Any help greatly appreciated.
