Hi,
Yah, just went through this one myself had some help for it. Your
retention periods are to short, your running out of volumes before the first
one is set to be recycled. The fix is either more volumes or shorter
retention periods. Your setup is remarkably like mine, if you get stuck i
should be able to help you out.

Dave.
Oh, forgot once you update your config files load up the bacula console and
do, this is going to take a while depending on how many pools you have, an
update pool and an update volume command for each client, that should fix
it.
