Here is where I am at now. I can use mt and tar and dump to the tape,
but bconsole shows:
Device status:
Autochanger "turing" with devices:
"LTO-2" (/dev/nst0)
Device "FileStorage" (/bacula/FileVol) is not open or does not exist.
Device "LTO-2" (/dev/nst0) open but no Bacula volume is mounted.
Slot 6 is loaded in drive 0.
Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0
Positioned at File=0 Block=0
When I tried to spool to tape, it asks to mount the volume, although the
tape is already in there and I can write to it with mt and tar.
So how do I mount a Bacula volume?

But still I get

How do I label the mounted volume as a the tape that bacula is looking
for?

Thanks for the patch, I implemented the changes and set the tapes back
to nst0 Now I am getting:
waiting for a mount request
so I do a mount, get:
3001 OK mount. Device="LTO-2" (/dev/nst0)
But it just sits at the waiting for mount request. This is where I
usually try umount/mount, and then get the BLOCKED media.
So if I upgrade to 1.39.26, am I going to have to dump my database and
then import it back in? I thought that there are a lot of changes
between 38 and 39 so I am not sure if I am going to be able to move up,
and I have a bunch of old backups from 38 that I don't want to lose.
Is there an upgrade from 38 to 39 doc? I looked and couldn't find one.

Keep the changer on the sg1 device, but do change the tapes to nst?.
If you are getting a 3903, you probably need to work with the installed
mtx-changer script. I must apply the attached patch to the installed
mtx-changer to get it to work with one of my autochangers. YMMV, but
you
might want to try these changes to see if that helps. This patch is
against
1.39.26, which incidentally is recommended by now, so the lines may be
off a
bit but it will give you an idea of the changes.
