Starting a new thread for this topic because the subject of the other
one was not really accurate.

I can't seem to make bacula automatically load and unload the proper
tapes for my backup jobs.  This means that I have to manually load and
unload tapes for each and every backup job which is tedious.  I think
it's due to a labeling issue but maybe I'm missing something.  Here is
the output from the last scheduled job which is hung up right now
waiting for a tape.  Note the "Invalid slot=0 defined" message.

24-Mar 23:05 bacula-dir: Start Backup JobId 53,
Job=BackupCatalog.2010-03-24_23.05.00
24-Mar 23:05 bacula-sd: Invalid slot=0 defined, cannot autoload Volume.
24-Mar 23:05 bacula-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 0" command.
24-Mar 23:05 bacula-sd: 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 0", result is Slot 24.
24-Mar 23:05 bacula-sd: BackupCatalog.2010-03-24_23.05.00 Warning:
Director wanted Volume "Bacula_Catalog".
    Current Volume "Nettracker_tape1" not acceptable because:
    1998 Volume "Nettracker_tape1" status is Append, not in Pool.
24-Mar 23:05 bacula-sd: Invalid slot=0 defined, cannot autoload Volume.
24-Mar 23:05 bacula-sd: Please mount Volume "Bacula_Catalog" on
Storage Device "d2d4112" (/dev/nst0) for Job
BackupCatalog.2010-03-24_23.05.00

A "list volumes" command confirms that all volumes are indeed
associated with slot 0.  Thomas kindly suggested that I run the "label
barcodes" command which I did, choosing my storage device and the
default pool when I did so.  This did not seem to help.  Just to be
sure I even ran the command again and confirmed that the
"Bacula_Catalog" volume is labeled:

Sending label command for Volume "724CE975" Slot 23 ...
3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 0" command.
3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 0", result is Slot 22.
3307 Issuing autochanger "unload slot 22, drive 0" command.
3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 23, drive 0" command.
3305 Autochanger "load slot 23, drive 0", status is OK.
3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 0" command.
3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 0", result is Slot 23.
3920 Cannot label Volume because it is already labeled: "Bacula_Catalog"
Label command failed for Volume 724CE975.

So what am I missing here?  Bacula has the volume, knows the label
name, but still can't find it in slot 23...
