I see, so in this case, I would create a single-drive autochanger which points 
to /dev/faketape and write a replacement script for mtx-changer which changes 
the target of the /dev/faketape link to /dev/st[0-2] based on the requested 
tape?

Along those same lines, would it be possible to create a three drive 
autochanger with three slots (or zero slots?) and still use Bacula's internal 
tape management features?  Since there are three loaded tapes and three drives 
in the autochanger it should never request a tape to be loaded, right?

Thanks.
