Just wanted to add something further into this thread, just in case
someone finds it and tries to use the info Rob Gerber supplied as
a basis for their own solution.

It turns out that Rob's observation in Point 2, vis:

   The tape drive appears not to have a suitable tape labeled and
   appendable, though it's possible that the misconfiguration that
   caused all this tied up a suitable tape while attempting to use
   the same resource as both source and destination (valid if you
   wanted to copy a tape, but not in your case).

was hitting a nail on the head, albeit it wasn't the misconfiguration
that caused all this that tied up a suitable tape, but the fact that
I had blown away the Bacula installation at some point (it's a bit
of an iterative process whilst testing things out) and had, it has
since come to light, not "told" Bacula about the tapes, sitting in
the Autochanger, that had previously been labelled before things
had been blown away.

Once those tapes had been relabelled, and placed into the TapeCP
Pool in passing, I now have data being copied from disk backup
over to the tapes.

Thanks again to Rob for the sheer depth of his reply, even if
I wasn't able to see the wood for the trees straight away,
