I think that only Volume Retention is on the volumes. Job and File
Retention are in the Client:
*llist clients
ClientId: 1
Name: erebor-fd
Uname: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu,redhat,Enterprise release
AutoPrune: 1
FileRetention: 5184000
JobRetention: 157680000
So, that can't be it. Actually, it was my first thought, too, that I
needed to do an update. But there seems to something else wrong here.
