Thanks for taking an interest in my problem.

So, I ejected the tape, cycled power, waited for bacula-director to come online, inserted and mounted the tape, and ran a backup job.  Job was hung.  While job was hung, I captured the following info.  I don't see anything that helps me, but that doesn't mean that there isn't an important clue here.  Or, perhaps there is something missing that I do not have the knowledge to recognize.
