Getting a read error on first usage on a new tape is expected and not
harmful at all. Just ignore the read error 0:0

This was a design decision to prevent a bug that occurs when you
delete intermediate volumes.

You can do this using your script or modifying the bacula source code

For some reason Verify VolumeToCatalog is not working as expected. I
tried to verify a 1.86TB job to verify that the data on the 6 LTO2
tapes is correct with fileset ImageData-ds3-fs but it appears that
bacula is mixed up trying to verify the catalog backup job instead.
