I am having the same problem. And I'm getting mad with the flags.
I recently started to think I have old jobs that stored the old job retention period.
How can I get rid of all that old jobs that are no more valid, without having to delete each by hand?
Should I start again from a scratch database and add the labeled volumes by hand to start again?

From your bacula-dir.conf it looks like your job retention is 30 days.
As I understand bacula it won't (automatically) prune volumes unless it
has purged all jobs referring to this volume.
