Hello Dan,
It seems your tapes may be mislabeled, or you simply loaded tape BGB847L6 into
some drive. Notice volume BGB846L6 is still in slot 2, and slot 1 is empty.
Maybe just s typo.
BUT, in your next output we see BGB846L6 in the drive.

I have a feeling that the Bacula labels written on the tape(s) do not match the
barcodes. OR, you have provided mismatched
(timing-wise) outputs. :)
*******I ran the label command from Bacularis and they do match the tapes in
inventory
*******The timing was correct.

I would remove these three lines, they are not necessary in a Device
configuration:
----8<----
> ChangerDevice = "/dev/sg1"
> ControlDevice = "/dev/nst0"
> ChangerCommand = "/opt/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
----8<----

You never want to set a MaximumVolumeSize for tapes (unless there is some
special issue with your drives). Let the tape drive
tell Bacula when the tape is full:
----8<----
> MaximumVolumeSize = 1000000000000
----8<----
*******I am trying to do a weekly DR backup where I am not filling the tape but
instead plan to do a Sunday backup then pull the tape on next business day for
offsite retention.
I do not see this option in the Enterprise, nor the Community manuals:
----8<----
> VolumeCapacity = 1000000000000
----8<----
*******This came from a Bacularis option

Please show us the Director's Storage resource that points to this SD's
Autochanger named "HP_SureStore"
Additionally, please show us some logs of jobs that make you manually mount a
volume:
* ll joblog jobid=xxxx
*******Job Log It keeps asking for appendable volumes and I want it to use a
new labeled volume
