The output is completely normal as the SD only knows about pools if
the DIR tells it, i.e. when the DIR starts using a volume.
That the drive isn't used would be something independent of the status
output / the SD not knowing about pools.

No idea... but don't worry about the SD not reporting pool names when
it first accesses a volume.
Instead, try to find out why the volume / drive is not used.
The first thing to look at is what the DIR reports when you start a
job - usually, it will complain if, for some reason, it can't select a
volume to use.
