I'm going to say this very quietly, as the concept is quite blasphemous...
If you haven't and you can, sneak in a reboot of the BRU Server machine, that's connected to your tape drive. I haven't used the version you'r trying to run, but on the previous builds, I found that sometimes, no matter what you kill off, what you restart, what you re-install, nothing can take the place of a reboot with some of these backup packages.
Heck, I had engineering from some of these companies on site...kill this, kill that......eventually, just sudo reboot and clear it all out! :)
We've decided to go the route of having a dedicated backup server because of this. I went through this whole ordeal again on Friday. BRU wouldn't write to tape, rebooted, then started my weekly full.
I've also found running libctl -v initialize after reboot helps out. Make sure all your takes are properly seen and your device is being recognized properly as well.

Subject: OT: BRU Agent Dropped Connection
I can't reach BRU support until tomorrow, and I normally run our full
backup Sunday night, so I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers
here. I received the notification of another interim release (1.1.3b)
that was supposed to address some issues I was having. Here is what I
did:
1) Stopped both the agent and server on the Xserve (this is where the
tape drive is as well)
2) Ran the 1.1.3b installers for agent, server, and console.
3) Started the agent and server on the Xserve
When I tried to select the Xserve for backups, the console status line
at the bottom of the screen shows:
Status: ERROR: Agent dropped connection
So, I completely removed all of the BRU components (deleted the three
apps as well as the receipts in Library) and reinstalled. Reapplied the
license. Still the same error. I'm not physically in the same location
as the server, so I would rather not do the remove again, as it will
kick out the tape when it discovers devices.
Any suggestions before tomorrow? I would really like to be able to run
the full before everyone comes in Monday. Thanks.
