good day all, looks like my bacula repeated this issue for me. i needed a tape 
for the catalog backup
which goes into the default pool, i did not like any of the volumes in the 
default pool and pulled in
four empty tapes from the scratch pool, and did not find any of them 
acceptable. media list is now:

Pool: Scratch
No results to list.

yet still pends the backup with:

05-Dec 06:14 molbio-sd JobId 1989: Job BackupCatalog.2008-12-04_23.10.13 
waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label"  command to create a new Volume for:
    Storage:      "LTO4" (/dev/nst1)
    Pool:         Default
    Media type:   LTO4

the default pool definition looks like this. not had any problem with it until 
after my upgrade to 2.4.3.
Pool {
  Name = Default
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 365 days         # one year
}
