I do have that:
Autochanger {
  Name = Autochanger
  Device = DLTv4
  Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
  Changer Device = /dev/sg4
}

Device {
  Name = DLTv4
  Drive Index = 0
  Media Type = tape
  Archive Device = /dev/nst0
  AutomaticMount = yes
  LabelMedia = yes
  AlwaysOpen = yes
  Autoselect = yes
  RemovableMedia = yes
  RandomAccess = no
  AutoChanger = yes
  Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}

It just tries to use the media that has been removed, even after update slots had been issued. Perhaps the retention period?? But should it just pull it from the scratch media since the tape is not there..?

Pool {
  Name = FileServPool-Full-tape
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 1 months
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
  Maximum Volumes = 12
  Storage = SLDLTv4
}

Pool {
  Name = FileServPool-Diff-tape
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 1 months
  Maximum Volumes = 1
  Storage = SLDLTv4
}

Pool {
  Name = FileServPool-Incre-tape
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 5 days
  Maximum Volumes = 1
  Storage = SLDLTv4
}

Thanks

Isnt it?supposed?to pull media from scratch pool?

I believe it will pull from the scratch pool if only if there are no
acceptable volumes in the pool. CNH895 was an acceptable volume even
though it was not in the changer so it picked that over grabbing one
from the scratch.

There may be some configuration setting to prevent bacula from wanting
a volume that is not in the changer but I do not know. Some one else
will have to help with that..

In your Storage section of your bacula-dir.conf file, if you are using an 
autochanger you need to specify 'Autochanger = yes' so bacula will check 
the InChanger field when it works with media.
