If you use the archive catalog in bconsole and issue a 'list media'
does it show the volumes you expect and do they have the inchanger
flag set to 1?
I've had several problems with the 'update slot' command issued while
I was using the wrong catalog. I can't remember exactly when/why this
happend, but using different catalogs with bacula is sometimes a bit
hard (IMHO).
