I agree with James... from Baculas point of view, the volume files 
don't matter, just the place where it finds them is important. And 
that doesn't change. At least that's how I understand vchanger works.

Quite similar to tapes - you access the tape with a constant name, but 
which tape is in the tape drive is independent from the tape drive's name.

I guess I'll have to try vchanger some day :-)
