I am also migrating from my own volume names to standard barcode labels. I set up new pools for the barcode volumes and when the time comes for each of my tapes to be re-used I manually use bconsole to relabel them with barcodes. This deletes the old volume and all related information and sets up the tape in the new pool. Gradually my tapes are all moving into the new pools, but I can still restore from those that have not yet been recycled.
