You should not load a cleaning tape via Bacula (or mtx).
Ideally, the cleaning tape should be in a reserved slot which the
changer hides from the server and automatically accesses when the
the drive signals that it needs to be cleaned.

So your changer supports barcodes? In that case you shouldn't use
"update slots scan" in the first place. Use "label barcodes" to
label your tapes with their barcodes, or "add volume" to add tapes
already so labeled. If you specify the cleaning prefix "CLN" in
your pool definition, Bacula will even know not to load cleaning
tapes.
