I have several tape drives that indicate they are being used by jobs that have 
been long terminated.  Without stopping/restarting bacula, is there a command 
that might get the storage daemon to recognize that the drives can be used for 
other jobs?  The commands used so far:
status storage=mychanger

Shows tape drives 1,4,&5 in use by old jobs, however there are no tapes in 
these drives.  One long running active job is using drive 0 and is the reason I 
do not want to stop/restart bacula.
release storage=mychanger drive=4

Says it's already released.  OK, so I mount the tape that bacula says the old 
job is using which succeeds.  I try releasing it again.  This time it says that 
it's busy with 1 writer.
cancel jobid=12345

It says there is no jobid 12345.

I have had this situation before, but not with 3 drives and it is causing my 
nightly backups to take much longer to complete everything.  Suggestions?
