John,
When I try to 'mount' the volume again to load the requested tape I get the
following error: "3001 OK mount requested. Specified slot ignored.
Device="Drive1" (/dev/nst0)". Then I get several messages in the console asking
me to 'mount' the volume I just mounted (located in slot 12, volume 51L4). Here
are the commands I'm issuing.
Thanks,
JJ

Maybe its my description but its confusing..
BTW, the ramifications of using the unmount command is that you have to issue
mount to get bacula to use the tape drive again. However if you use the
release command bacula does not require you to mount.
