So, I just tried moving a volume from my scratch pool to my Servers 
pool, and pruned it. Bacula marked it purged. I then ran the mount 
command, and again I got the message that there are no appendable volumes:

*messages

waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label"  command to create a new Volume for:
     Storage:      "Drive-1" (/dev/st0)
     Pool:         Servers
     Media type:   VXA-2
*list volumes pool=Servers

What the heck could be going on here? I have recently ran into some 
weirdnesses with my setup. Everything had been running fine for a long 
time, and then when I rebooted the machine, the tape drive showed up on 
a different device address. I had to change this, and then it appeared 
that suddenly there were some strange problems with my config file, 
which I fixed (stuff like it suddenly didn't like upper case letters, 
where apparently it didn't care before). But, now I have run a couple of 
successful backups since then, until I ran into this weirdness, and I'm 
not sure what to do...  Using bacula 2.4.4-1 on debian lenny.
