For me when the few times that has happened with my Exabyte Magnum224
all that was needed was to issue a mount on the drive. And yes I do
mean drive I have both drives and the autochanger defined in my
bacula-dir.conf so all 3 show up as storage devices.

Oops, meant to include this with last email. When I mount, I am mounting 
the drive, at least that is what it looks like to me.

*mount
Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog
Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
Automatically selected Storage: Exabyte
3001 Device "Drive-1" (/dev/st0) is mounted with Volume "G0000003"

cheers,
