We have 3 Drives in the Library and would dedicate one to the Catalog backups (and the Windows Clients) and the other two to the NDMP Filer. We are just unsure how the robot control would work. If we can just talk to the robot on both paths (Bareos --NDMP-> NDMP Filer --SAN -> tape robot and Bareos --SAN-> tape robot), or if there is some special consideration needed on the Bareos end.

You cannot share a tape drive between a Bareos SD and an NDMP Filer doing NDMP_NATIVE. You will need a partitionable library for that and configure one partition to be used by Bareos and another one for NDMP (another tape library would work too, of course). While it might be possible to implement sharing on the Bareos end, I don't know if the NDMP end is able to share a drive at all.
