Hello, Mark: in fact, it's not really necessary to specify a Storage in the 
Pool resource, unless in some particular cases.
Doing that really creates a strong matrix between Pools and Storages, but I 
don't think it is the issue here.

Unless something changed, I think it's not recommended to call Drives from an 
Autochanger directly from bacula-dir.conf.
You should always use the Autochanger Name (bacula-sd.conf) as the 
bacula-dir.conf, Storage Resource, Device directive.
Hopefully, Bacula will match the Devices (Drives) Media Types to the Tape Media 
Types during operation.
