Maybe I am wrong, but as I'm having the same problem for months, I deduce there is something wrong on the Bacula pdf document: it states that bacula will consider the shortest retention period during prune.
So, I guessed from the beginning that shortening the Volume Retention Period would force bacula to purge jobs and files even though they have a longer retention period.
Am I wrong?

So once I make that change in my conf file, do I have to modify any of the
settings for the volumes themselves? I remember from a ways back that
changing the volume retention settings didn't make any difference unless you
started with new volumes or removed and relabled the current set of volumes.
