The release manual states this: In version 1.37, there is a new
Autochanger resource that permits you to group Device resources thus
creating a multi-drive autochanger. If you have a multi-drive
autochanger, you must use this new resource. If you have a single drive
autochanger, it is recommended, but not required.

Then again, the manual could be wrong.

Are you sure that the last command that it runs (unload?) returns with
0? If mtx-changer returns anything non-zero, Bacula assumes there's
something wrong with the changer and immediately stops all actions while
requesting operator intervention. You might try putting an exit 0; in
there to test that.
