I don=92t know enough about your backup or Bacula to know if this is =
amount that should be written, but we attempted a write in variable =
block mode of 64512 bytes.  The command, data transfer list, and =
controller state are all consistent with this.  The command was =
successfully transferred to the tape drive, but it never transitioned to =
data phase to allow us to begin the data transfer.  (In parallel SCSI, =
the target controls all state transitions).

Since there are no parity errors or other indications of a transport =
error, my hunch is that this is a tape drive issue.  Are you running the =
latest available firmware for it?  How many write cycles do you have on =
your media?  When was the last time you cleaned the drive?

There are still some bugs in the formatting of the diagnostic output for =
this driver.  I=92ll fix these up and get them into HEAD.
