That's normal as long as the SD didn't communicate with the DIR about
this volume.

That's the point - The SD selected a certain drive to use when it
started the job. It can't switch drives while a job is running.
Also, the data for each device is kept separate in the SD, so the
storage device DRIVE2 hasn't learnt which pool the tape belongs to.
With a more recent version - which should be, of course, the lastest
relesed one :-) - the SD might choose better. Some issues with device
reservation et al were fixed.
