..another one bites the dust.
The label command from within bconsole was resolved by setting the
permissions on /dev/pass0 (your changer device under FreeBSD). I'd
already checked the /dev/nsa* permissions, which were correct.
Whomever has the power to update this page:
http://bacula.org/dev-manual/Testing_Your_Tape_Drive.html#SECTION000356000000000000000
...may want to add the comment that FreeBSD specifically will use
/dev/pass* and that also needs the proper permissions, and more
generally that both the changer and the drive device need the proper
permissions.
Thanks,

using "label" to try and rotate tapes returns this:
*label
The defined Storage resources are:
1: File
2: HPLoader
Select Storage resource (1-2): 2
Enter new Volume name: bacula3
Enter slot (0 for none): 3
Automatically selected Pool: Default
Connecting to Storage daemon HPLoader at dmzbackup:9103 ...
Sending label command for Volume "bacula3" Slot 3 ...
3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command.
3991 Bad autochanger "loaded drive 0" command: ERR=Child exited with
code 1.
3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 3, drive 0" command.
3992 Bad autochanger "load slot 3, drive 0": ERR=Child exited with code 1.
Label command failed for Volume bacula3.
Do not forget to mount the drive!!!
*quit
However - prepending the device name to the aforementioned mtx-changer
command "loaded drive 0" command does return the appropriate slot, so
I'm not sure why this fails.
Ideas?

That should do it.
And, depending on your mtx-changer script, Offline on unmount in the
SDs config.

Assuming you meant "Autochanger=yes" [since Autoloader= isn't valid]
is a no go.
Here's what I get at the bconsole prompt:
16-Jun 18:10 dmzbackup-sd: End of Volume "bacula1" at 42:1103 on
device /dev/nsa0. Write of 64512 bytes got 0.
16-Jun 18:11 dmzbackup-sd: End of medium on Volume "bacula1"
Bytes=41,285,506,721 Blocks=639,967 at 16-Jun-2005 18:11.
16-Jun 18:11 dmzbackup-sd: Job beige.2005-06-16_17.06.41 waiting.
Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: HP-Library
Media type: DLT
Pool: Default
...my quandry is as follows:
A) I have other tapes in the loader, but none of them are labeled
with bacula volume labels. (I've set the AutoLabel, so presumably that
will work.)
B) I have no way to change tapes without stopping bacula. (MTX,
btape, mtx-changer, and the actual tape library itself all see the
device as in use).
C) Stopping bacula will cause my job to die at 80% complete.
..and here are my questions:
i) How do I rotate tapes from within bacula itself and/or make
bacula rotate tapes when it finds that the current tape is full.
ii) Why do the btape test pass and rotate as perscribed, yet
bacula itself will not rotate tapes properly?
Many thanks,
