Assuming:
1) That bacula is correctly configured to use a scratch pool
2) I have an autochanger with 10 slots
3) I have labeled media Bacula-0001 thru Bacula-0010 and assigned them 
to the scratch pool
4) A job is running that needs a new volume from the Full pool

If bacula can not find an appendable volume by other means (recycle, 
etc...) bacula will,

a) move a volume from the scratch pool to the Full pool
b) the volume will not be renamed
c) the volume will be updated with the attributes of the Full pool

and assuming that the Full pool is configured with:
        RecyclePool = Scratch
when a volume is recycled it will be moved back to the scratch pool in 
the same manner as above.

Is this a correct understanding of how the scratch pool works?
