Bacula doesn't care what the slots are called. It just queries mtx for 
information about what slots are available, which slots are full, which 
are empty, and which label (and therefore tape) is in each slot.

Have you tried manipulating the change using mtx?

What does 'mtx -f /dev/sgN status' do?

You should be able to 'update slots' to make bacula see what is in each 
slot, and 'label barcodes' to write the tape label to the tape.

For instance on my autochanger 'update slots' says:

*update slots
Automatically selected Storage: Autochanger
Connecting to Storage daemon Autochanger at xxx:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
Device "Autochanger" has 24 slots.
Connecting to Storage daemon Autochanger at xxx:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "list" command.
Catalog record for Volume "ABC456L4" updated to reference slot 11.
Catalog record for Volume "ABC123L4" updated to reference slot 7.

Whilst mtx gives the following info:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/bacula# mtx -f /dev/sg1 status
   Storage Changer /dev/sg1:1 Drives, 24 Slots ( 1 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 7 Loaded):VolumeTag = ABC123L4
