Hi Kevin,

we're having the same "problem" although I am unsure if this isn't a
feature of bacula trying to preserve data as long as possible. 

So far, I haven't found a way around bacula trying to mount removed
volumes short of manually setting the removed volumes to status
"archive".

You can check the list archive for what I had hoped "update slots"
would achieve, but it only covers certain aspects of what's needed
(imho) when juggling around entire cartridges full of tapes. 

All the best, Uwe
