Adding the line:
Autochanger = yes
to my storage definition in my bacula-dir.conf file did indeed solve the issue.
Bacula is now considering volumes only from the ones that are listed as
“InChanger”. Thanks for the pointer.
Cheers!

Hello Martin,
Bacula never checks the Media Type vs what is in the label.
The problem for users who have not understood the importance of making
the Media Types unique will be to modify their catalog database. Before
making this change, I will provide some reasonable solution.

I hope that forcing users to change the configured MediaType won't cause a
problem
ot in the autochanger,
beside the fact that there are a lot of usable tapes in it that are in the
Scratch pool…
Thanks for your help,

Hello,
I'm facing an issue with Bacula (5.2.12) on a Ubuntu server (12.04.4 LTS): I
don't know why, but the server, after finishing writing on a tape, tries to use
a tape that is not in the autochanger, despite the fact that there are plenty
of online and usable tape in the Scratch pool...
Any
