That howto and script is quite old. As mentioned in the revision history 
at the top, vchanger is a separate project at 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vchanger/. You should really try a newer 
version, as that howto and script was created for use with Bacula 
version 1.39 I believe.

The current disk could be full. There could be no available volumes on 
the current disk. This could also happen if you do not issue a "update 
slots" command in bconsole after changing SATA disks. The update slots 
command is what allows Bacula to determine which volumes are currently 
available. When selecting the next available volume to use, Bacula makes 
use of this info and will try to select a volume that is "in changer" 
and available. If it can't find a currently available volume that is "in 
changer", it will select an available volume that is not "in changer" 
and ask the operator to mount it.

Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances
and start using them to simplify application deployment and
accelerate your shift to cloud computing.
