Hello,

  I'm having a strange problem.  I have a bacula setup with a tape library and 3 drives.  Backups on one of the drives are not working.  No error message, the jobs just queue up and then don't run.  They don't seem to select a volume.  The problem is with my tape labelled LTO-5-1.  Here is the status output:

Device status:
Autochanger "Autochanger" with devices:
   "LTO-5-1" (/dev/nst1)
   "LTO-6-1" (/dev/nst0)
   "LTO-6-2" (/dev/nst2)

Device Tape: "LTO-5-1" (/dev/nst1) is not open.
   Device is being initialized.
   Drive 0 is not loaded.

Device Tape is "LTO-6-1" (/dev/nst0) mounted with:
    Volume:      27L6
    Pool:        Full-Pool-Tape-LTO6
    Media type:  LTO-6

    Positioned at File=1,138 Block=0
   Slot 24 is loaded in drive 1.

Device Tape: "LTO-6-2" (/dev/nst2) is not open.
   Drive 2 is not loaded.

Used Volume status:

    Reader=0 writers=0 reserves=0 volinuse=0 worm=0

  Another strange thing is that despite what the status says, there are volumes loaded (from mtx):

Storage Changer /dev/changer:3 Drives, 47 Slots ( 3 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 11 Loaded):VolumeTag = 000011L5 Data Transfer Element 1:Full (Storage Element 24 Loaded):VolumeTag = 000027L6
Data Transfer Element 2:Empty

0 is LTO5-1, 1 is LTO-6-1 and 2 is LTO-6-2.

I ran a test with btape and it's able to write to LTO5-1, so I'm guessing that the issue is pool related?
