FYI, I'm not seeing this behaviour in -current.  Bareos is insisting on a 
volume I exported today (using the 'export' bconsole command).  And yes, I did 
an update slots, and InChanger got set to zero.

I don't necessarily want to do this; marking it full only takes effect after I 
cancel the job that's waiting on the exported volume.

Should I report this as a bug (with full details there), or has something 
changed?

I *think* the problem stems from this (from "status jobs"):
====

Used Volume status:
000006L6 on device "tapedrive-tl1000" 
(/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-350016977299e1010-nst)
    Reader=0 writers=0 reserves=5 volinuse=0
000019L3 on device "tapedrive-pv124t" 
(/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-1IBM_ULTRIUM-TD3_1210358856-nst)
    Reader=0 writers=0 reserves=0 volinuse=0
====

...but 000006L6 is the volume I exported today!  I'm pretty sure I did a 
unmount/mount before and after exporting - would forgetting that step cause 
this situation?

Thanks,
-Adam
