I believe the problem is that if you have prefer mounted volumes on
with multidrive autochanger bacula ends up using only the first drive
in the changer unless you force jobs to the individual drives. If you
have prefer mounted volumes off bacula will pick any tape in the pool
when running jobs. I would say that both results are not what a user
of a multitape changer would want.
