Hmm... I suggest you enable debug output for the SD by starting the SD
like 'bacula-sd -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -d 400 -f -v'.
This will run the SD in the foreground and produce lots of debug output.
Then, start ONE job to use the tape changer and see what that produces
when a tape nees to be changed. You could then post the relevant part of
the output here.
Alternatively, you could add some debug output to mtx-changer and
redirect that to some log file.
By the way - I notice something in the configuration only now... see
below. For example I have the following above the first test clause:
echo "------" >>/var/log/mtx-changer.log
echo "Called with $@ at `date`" >>/var/log/mtx-changer.log
and this (on one line)
echo "Doing mtx -f $ctl -- to get count of slots at `date`"
>>/var/log/mtx-changer.log
after the "slots)" in the final case switch.
Then I find "Doing mtx -f /dev/sg7 -- to get count of slots at Thu Mar
8 22:17:19 CET 2007" in the log file while I'm running a job spanning tapes.
You could easily add the raw output from the mtx command to the log to
see if the output, for some reason doesn't fit to what the awk expects.

This line above - it's probably better to write
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
so that you don't have to keep the configuration current in two places.
I don't think this is related to the problem you have as the information
should be correct for you.
