i don't really understand this, on occasion i get these sorts of errors:

    Storage:      "LTO4" (/dev/nst0)
    Pool:         Inc
    Media type:   LTO4

where volume 000291L4 is out of the library and is marked:

|      19 | 000291L4   | Recycle   |       1 |                 1 |        0 |

now i have several volumes in the scratch pool that could be used:

why does bacula require that particular volume when it is unavailable and not 
select an available volume from the scratch pool?

This looks similar to the problem I presented here two months ago:

Subject: mounted tape not accepted if another one has already been recycled

Apparently if Bacula knows there is a tape in "Recycled" state in
the pool it refuses to consider recycling other tapes, no matter
if the already recycled tape is actually available.

Unfortunately that discussion ended out without any results.
It looks like this behaviour is considered normal.
