Following up to this, after a weekend of continus drive activity, the 
system has now wedged totally after recycling 2 Pool tapes that weren't in 
the changer and any attempts to talk to bacula-sd in order to scan the 
slots after they were inserted (or to tell the drives to mount after 
manually updating the database's inchanger and slot flags) are resulting 
in infinite hangs

It's been this way for about 6 hours. I don't want to restart the -SD as 
the hang is in the middle of 2 1Tb backups.
