Good plan.  I think we're getting someone else's configuration mixed up in 
here, and that's confusing...  :-)

My director is running on sleipnir (Debian 8 Jessie, bacula 7.4.3), with the 
following settings:

Storage {
  Name = Library2
  Address = odin                # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
  SDPort = 9103
  Device = AutochangerOdin
  Media Type = LTO6
  Autochanger = yes                   # enable for autochanger device
}

Pool {
  Name = OdinPool
  Pool Type = Backup
  Storage = Library2
  Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 180 days         # one year
  Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
  Cleaning Prefix = "CLN"
}


The storage daemon is running on odin (Debian 9.0 Stretch, bacula 7.4.4), with 
the following settings:

Autochanger {
  Name = AutochangerOdin
  Device = Drive-1
  Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
#  Changer Device = /dev/autochanger1
  Changer Device = /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-1IBM_3573-TL_00X2U78BZ022_LL0
}

Device {
  Name = Drive-1                      #
  Description = "LT06 inside Dell TL2000 Library"
  Drive Index = 0
  Media Type = LT06
#  Archive Device = /dev/nst0
  Archive Device = /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35000e11164c42001-nst
  AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
  AlwaysOpen = yes;
  RemovableMedia = yes;
  RandomAccess = no;
  AutoChanger = yes
  SpoolDirectory = "/var/spool/bacula"
  MaximumSpoolSize = 485G
  Maximum Network Buffer Size = 65536
  Offline On Unmount = no
  Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'"
}
