 I get this error message all the time and of course my backups do not
 run due to this error.


I get this error periodically, using single drives (a VXA1 and an LTO1).
Usually, it means that a tape has been changed, but not unmounted first.
 If I execute an unmount and a mount on the drive in question, it
invariably goes away.  You might try this before you go relabelling tapes.


 The other problem I have is bacula dies on a regular basis (usually when
 the full backups run), exactly when the first backup is scheduled to run.
 
 When I check the logs, I see;
 
 05-Dec 22:00 ganymede-dir: Start Backup JobId 1963,
 Job=Custweb2.2005-12-05_22.00.00
 
 and nothing else…


Does it dump core?  Are you running with debugging enabled?  These will
probably be necessary to isolate this issue.

/dev/nst0. ERR=Input/output error.

so far as I have learned it, ERR=Input/output error on the drive device
means that the loaded tape has not been fully calibrated. I would try to
increase the sleep-time in mtx-changer (around line 125 - the load case).

and nothing else…

I have no idea on this ...

Ok I have increased the sleep time in the mtx-changer file so we will see
what that does, however I am not very hopeful as most of the time, when I
get this error message it has been sitting for hours, I do a mount and it
still happens...

Use the function wait_for_tape or whatever it's called in the 
mtx-changer script. And, in case you still have problems, implement some 
logging into that script.


Worked wonders for me :-)
