OK. Another approach, in this case, is to use autofs to automount the
drive as needed. Then Bacula doesn't have to do anything fancy and you
just setup Bacula SD as if it were a normal fixed disk drive.

It doesn't have anything to do with the problem. But if the volume
Bacula wants is not found on the drive, then if RemovableMedia=yes
Bacula will search the drive for another volume that is usable and use
it if it can. If RemovableMedia=no, then Bacula will fail the job if the
volume is not found. This can happen if you have multiple USB drives
that you rotate. When the volume that Bacula decides should be next is
on a drive that is not plugged in, it is sometimes better to use a
volume on the drive that is plugged in, rather than failing the job.

I think 'ignored', in this case, means that it is always forced to be
'no'. In any case, RequiresMount=yes should be causing Bacula to mount
before opening.

That is possible. The 1.38.x releases were the first to have this
feature, and I believe it was at first to support DVD drives. It would
be a good idea to upgrade anyway. There have been numerous beneficial
features added since then, as well as bug fixes.
