Through some trickery (loaded the tape into the drive from outside 
bacula, and then mounted in bacula), I was able to get it to use the 
tape in slot 3 for that backup, but I did not get so lucky with the next 
backup. Initially it could not eject the previous tape because of the 
confusion of slots. Then, once I manually loaded the correct tape 
outside of bacula and mounted, it did not recognize that it had the 
correct tape and attempted to eject it:
