So, I just tried moving a volume from my scratch pool to my Servers pool, and pruned it. Bacula marked it purged. I then ran the mount command, and again I got the message that there are no appendable volumes: *messages 27-Jul 14:35 billie-sd JobId 1700: Job MailBackup.2010-07-25_01.10.00.28 waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.

I have recently ran into some weirdnesses with my setup. Everything had been running fine for a long time, and then when I rebooted the machine, the tape drive showed up on a different device address. I had to change this, and then it appeared that suddenly there were some strange problems with my config file, which I fixed (stuff like it suddenly didn't like upper case letters, where apparently it didn't care before). But, now I have run a couple of successful backups since then, until I ran into this weirdness, and I'm not sure what to do...
