I do not know about that and I have had a 2 drive autochanger for 6 years...

However after issuing update slots in bacula it will remember what
tapes are in what slots so then when it needs a tape it will know what
slot to load. So every time you change volumes you need to issue
update slots. You also should use the label barcodes command in bacula
to add new volumes to a pool. I add the volumes to the Scratch pool
and whenever bacula needs a volume in other pools (and there are no
volumes that can be recycled) it will grab a volume from the scratch.
