As one who does burn DVDs I can confirm the following: a) for a blank DVD mount will only work if you have automatic labelling turned on. b) if automatic labelling is turned off then you have to manually issue label and the end of the label does a mount. This causes bacula to pick up the new volume and restart its writing. c) if you have a pre-labelled volume then mount will do the trick. Note if you are feeling really adventurous then you might be able to hook into the appropriate hotplugging framework and get that to do a bconsole mount for you. Note that I've never tried this so I don't know if it will really work.
