I rebuilt the package with the suggested fix (add .encode() to the string constants "un-blacklisting" and "isn't blacklisted"), and now I get:
Dec 27 13:29:22 ff-ceph-2 rbd-target-api[8350]: Removing blacklisted entry for this host : 192.168.1.61:6819/1587702737
Dec 27 13:29:24 ff-ceph-2 rbd-target-api[8350]: Successfully removed blacklist entry

Dec 27 13:29:25 ff-ceph-2 rbd-target-api[8350]: Successfully removed blacklist entry
...
So that seems to work.
