good day all, i'm working thru getting backups working on my new
library, i labled 10 tapes in the library from inside bconsole
using barcodes, i put them all into the scratch pool:

Pool: Scratch
+---------+------------+-----------+---------+----------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+-------------+
| mediaid | volumename | volstatus | enabled | volbytes | volfiles | 
volretention | recycle | slot | inchanger | mediatype | lastwritten |
+---------+------------+-----------+---------+----------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+-------------+
|       1 | 002048L4   | Append    |       1 |   64,512 |        0 |   
31,536,000 |       1 |    2 |         1 | LTO4      |             |
|       2 | 002047L4   | Append    |       1 |   64,512 |        0 |   
31,536,000 |       1 |    3 |         1 | LTO4  

etc ....

when i try and run a backup using the scratch pool via the command line:

Run Backup job
JobName:  Client1
Level:    Full
Client:   molbio-fd
FileSet:  Full Set
Pool:     Scratch (From Job resource)
Storage:  LTO4 (From Job resource)
When:     2007-11-29 10:16:59
Priority: 10
OK to run? (yes/mod/no): yes
Job queued. JobId=7

i get:

29-Nov 10:17 molbio-dir JobId 7: Start Backup JobId 7, 
Job=Client1.2007-11-29_10.17.11
29-Nov 10:17 molbio-dir JobId 7: Using Device "LTO4"
29-Nov 10:17 molbio-sd JobId 7: Job Client1.2007-11-29_10.17.11 waiting. Cannot 
find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label"  command to create a new Volume for:
    Storage:      "LTO4" (/dev/nst0)
    Pool:         Scratch
    Media type:   Ultrium-4

all though all volumes in scratch pool are listed as appendable. 

i must be misunderstanding the use of the scratch pool, i understood that 
bacula would select volumes 
as needed from it. my bacula version is:

*version
molbio-dir Version: 2.2.5 (09 October 2007) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu redhat 

is my approach to this incorrect?
