For the mtx command you should always use an "autochanger device" as
described above. Others simply won't work.

You should make sure that the following command will run without any
issues: mtx -f /dev/sg39 status
Then you can move to Bacula configuration. If this command won't work for
you then Bacula won't work either.

You should check kernel logs or events at the tape library to check what is
going on. Then simply solve it.

best regards
