Hi Kern,
Thanks for your help!
I removed the two lines you mentioned and had the same result.
The btape output is below. I'm running Debian 8.8 (kernel 3.16.0-4-amd64).
I downloaded the Bacula 9.0.1 source from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bacula/files/bacula/9.0.1/ and compiled
the binaries on my machine. The binaries are dynamically linked, so I added
"/home/agreenblatt/software-bacula/bacula/src/stored/.libs" to
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/bacula.conf and ran ldconfig. I assume that the warning
about plugins in /usr/local/lib can be ignored as a result? (Though, now
that I look, I see the libs are indeed in /usr/local/lib, so perhaps I
didn't need to make the extra file in ld.so.conf.d.)
Best,
Aaron
Full btape output:

=== Write, rewind, and re-read test ===
I'm going to write 10000 records and an EOF
then write 10000 records and an EOF, then rewind,
and re-read the data to verify that it is correct.
This is an *essential* feature ...

This test is essential to Bacula.
I'm going to write one record in file 0,
two records in file 1,
and three records in file 2

btape: btape.c:633-0 Moved to end of medium.
We should be in file 3. I am at file 3. This is correct!
Now the important part, I am going to attempt to append to the tape.
btape: btape.c:1917-0 Wrote one record of 64412 bytes.
btape: btape.c:1919-0 Wrote block to device.
btape: btape.c:612-0 Wrote 1 EOF to "LTO-6" (/dev/nst0)
btape: btape.c:582-0 Rewound "LTO-6" (/dev/nst0)
Done appending, there should be no I/O errors
Doing Bacula scan of blocks:
1 block of 64448 bytes in file 1
End of File mark.
2 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 2
End of File mark.
3 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 3
End of File mark.
1 block of 64448 bytes in file 4
End of File mark.
Total files=5, blocks=7, bytes = 451,136
End scanning the tape.
We should be in file 4. I am at file 5. This is NOT correct!!!!
The above Bacula scan should have output identical to what follows.
Please double check it ...
=== Sample correct output ===
1 block of 64448 bytes in file 1
End of File mark.
2 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 2
End of File mark.
3 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 3
End of File mark.
1 block of 64448 bytes in file 4
End of File mark.
Total files=4, blocks=7, bytes = 451,136
=== End sample correct output ===
If the above scan output is not identical to the
sample output, you MUST correct the problem
or Bacula will not be able to write multiple Jobs to
the tape.
=== Forward space files test ===
This test is essential to Bacula.
I'm going to write five files then test forward spacing
