I run an 'update slots' admin job before each nights run.  I just 
modified it to disable all media, and then enable the inchanger media, 
based off of info from these posts, and bacula's make_mysql_tables script.

#!/bin/sh
#watch for my typos

#adminjob-update_slots.sh

bconsole="/root/bin/bacula/bin/bconsole"
bconsole_cfg="/root/bin/bacula/etc/bconsole.conf"
BCONSOLE="${bconsole} -c ${bconsole_cfg}"

mysql="/usr/bin/mysql"
mysql_user="-u bacula"
mysql_pass="-p ******"
mysql_db="bacula"
MYSQL="${MYSQL} $mysql_user $mysql_pass"

storage="YourStorageHere"

#update slots
echo "update slots storage=$storage quit" | ${BCONSOLE}

#use bacula db
if ${MYSQL} <<END-OF-DATA
USE $mysql_db;

#disable all media
UPDATE Media SET Enabled=0;

#enable inchanger media
UPDATE Media SET Enabled=1 WHERE InChanger=1;

#Display update
#SELECT Enabled,InChanger FROM Media;

END-OF-DATA
then
  echo "All Good"
else
  echo "Failed"
fi
exit 0
