This message usually means that the tape is full.

This is good.  It means that Bacula is able to read the block before the one
that filled the tape.

I would expect Bacula to rewind the tape before copying to it.  Could the tape
be full?  Did the tape contain something already when you started copying to
it?

Beware also that tapes are not all exactly the same length, so Bacula can't
guarantee to copy a full tape to another one.
