I have the same library here, and I've often added and removed tapes without
shutting down the sd - you just have to make sure that no jobs are running,
and bacula has unmounted the volumes.
Also note that the library sometimes takes a little while to wake back up
after it's been offline, so you may have to repeat update slots once or twice
before it will admit that it's there.
