So 'update slots kicked' some sense into bacula-dir and it started writing.

Summary:

1. You'd think media manipulation commands like delete volume would
update bacula's inventory when done. You'd be wrong. You have to
manually run 'update slots' every time. This might be documented
someplace (don't ask me where).

2. Bacula's clever volume selection algorithm is completely unsuitable
for vchanger. If you have multiple disk "magazines" online you probably
want to fill up one disk, then the next. What bacula did here is pick a
volume from the next disk when the "current" one's only 20% full.
