I don't have an autochanger, and therefore have not gone through the
docs as exhaustively on this section as would be possible... however,
what jumps out at me is that you have LTO-3 as your media type
everywhere except on that one device. Basically Bacula is telling you
"I'm looking for a storage called this with this media type, and I'm not
finding it." I suspect if you change the DELLTL4000 Storage def to use
LTO-3, your problem will go away.
