The OP seems to have two separate NAS boxes, each with its own bacula-sd (the
source of the copy jobs) and possibly even a third box running the virtual
autochanger (the target of the copy jobs).

Does your setup have a single bacula-sd process running on the NAS, configured
with multiple Device or Autochanger clauses in the bacula-sd.conf?  The would
be a lot simpler, because there is only one source sd for the copy jobs.
