I've copied the bacula-users list because I am not very good at answering 
these kinds of questions.  They can probably be of more help that I can.  
However, this is vacation time, so things are a bit slower than normal.

That directive was never actually implemented, and I have recently removed it 
entirely.  Bacula will always accept any valid Volume that is already in a 
drive.

On many non-autochanger drives, doing an eject requires an explicit "load" 
command, and Bacula never uses that command (except in btape).  I recommend 
avoiding ejecting except if required.

Yes, you are dreaming.

To the best of my knowledge there have not been any changes involving 
ejecting/mounting, ... since 1.38.0.
