That is a problem.  You don't want the label.  You want the slt it came
from.  See
http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/Autochanger_Resource.html#SECTION0017130000000000000000

    loaded -- returns number of the slot that is loaded, base 1,
              in the drive or 0 if the drive is empty.

Current problem: I can't see how to get this information from the device.
I'll keep working on it:

$ sudo /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/sg4 inquiry
