Results in:
Config error: Keyword "AutomaticMount" not permitted in this resource.
So it obviously needs to be only in the Device resource.
Btw, is this line documented somewhere, saying what it really does, where it
should be used, if there is some default value, etc?
Using Acrobat Readers's find- command, I only found config file examples in
the Bacula 2.0.3 manual, but no explanation at all.

Now I increased this by a factor of 4. Should be enough, I guess.
I'm getting an idea that maybe the problem had something to do with a forced
system shutdown that took place earlier the same day due to exceptionally
long power outage (The Power Company had messed with a 110 kV line, it
hadn't been unpowered yet as they thought before grounding it for some
maintenance work...)
Anyway, it looks to me like Bacula had gotten a little bit confused with
something after the next power-up. I'll try to debug that further some day,
the problem with this is that the only autochanger I have is in a file
server that can't be shut down whenever I'd like to test something...
