Is it possible that in your mtx-changer script (whatever that is called
in windows :-) you don't have the wait_for_drive function enabled? The
error looks like it might be a timeout problem... i.e. Bacula tries to
access the tape before the drive has finished loading it.
If the windows' mtx-changer looks similar to the unix one, you can
easily find where the command load is processed. There, a wait time will
be effective. Hopefully there is a comment indicating how to enable a
more reliable drive status checking - it might not need more than
removing a comment character.

These many tries... checks what's loaded, and rechecks, and rechecks...
possibly because in between there were problems reading the tape?
