Hi Alex

Thanks, you were 100% spot on! I have defined udev rules for my drives and now 
it works like it should.

Here is the udev rules in case someone else needs it:
rand-rhbackup3 &#93;# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/local.rules 
#Autochanger
BUS=="scsi", KERNEL=="sg3", ENV&#123;ID_SERIAL&#125;="1ADIC&nbsp; &nbsp; 
A0C0209217_LLA", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="changer"
#Tape Drive 1
BUS=="scsi", KERNEL=="nst0", ENV&#123;ID_SERIAL&#125;="3500308c09f692094", 
NAME="%k", SYMLINK="Drive1"
#Tape Drive 2
BUS=="scsi", KERNEL=="nst1", ENV&#123;ID_SERIAL&#125;="3500308c09f692098", 
NAME="%k", SYMLINK="Drive2"
#Tape Drive 3
BUS=="scsi", KERNEL=="nst2", ENV&#123;ID_SERIAL&#125;="3500308c09f692000", 
NAME="%k", SYMLINK="Drive3"
#Tape Drive 4
BUS=="scsi", KERNEL=="nst3", ENV&#123;ID_SERIAL&#125;="3500308c09f692090", 
NAME="%k", SYMLINK="Drive4"
#Tape Drive 5
BUS=="scsi", KERNEL=="nst4", ENV&#123;ID_SERIAL&#125;="3500308c09f692004", 
NAME="%k", SYMLINK="Drive5"
rand-rhbackup3 bacula&#93;#
