Kern, thanks for the the reiterate. I solved this problem in April with your
first response. I removed references to IBM labels and after a delete and readd
everything is working properly.

Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Issues with IBM Labels
I already wrote this previously: the error message produced by Bacula
indicates that the user has enabled ANSI volume labels. This is unusual
and generally not needed unless you have multiple different backup/other
programs using the tapes. In any case, if you explicitly enable this
ANSI tape label option in Bacula (turned off by default), you are
limited to 6 characters in the tape name. Without the ANSI tape label
option in the bacula-sd.conf file, your tape labels may be up to 127
characters in length.
As I previously wrote, I think that the user is confusing barcodes and
reading barcodes with the ANSI tape labels feature in Bacula.
Best regards,
Kern
