More details... your problem description is becoming less and less 
useful for me.

Which volumes are in the autochanger, which ones can be used, what's the 
state of the SD, what happens when jobs start, etc. Also, consider 
running the DIR and the SD with debug output, so you can track what the 
daemons do internally, i.e. how they decide which volumes to use.
