Hi Bill,
I Read all the posts and just one question: you are working with scripts
for setting enabled flag in catalog for your needs. And what about working
with "inchanger" flag instead? Setting your volumes inchanger flag to zero

Using version 7.0.4 with vchanger and several removable SATA drives each with
(69) 10GB volumes on them.
I have magazine #2 inserted with volumes c0_0002_0001 through c0_0002_0069 and
Bacula has access to it.
I have three main pools:
Offsite-eSATA-Full
Offsite-eSATA-Diff
Offsite-eSATA-Inc
