Thanks for the responses.
I successfully set the volume status to "Used" and then tried to prune the
offending volume. Bacula asked if I wanted to modify the retention period,
which is currently set to be 1 year. I chose yes and tried setting it to 1
day. Then I "list volumes" and the volume still has the same retention
period in the pool (1 year).

Next I tried to purge the volume and Bacula reponds with:
"0 Files on Volume "June08-02" purged from catalog."

I should also mention that originally the volumes showing up as an error
were added to the pool using "add" rather than label.

Any other ideas or suggestions I can try?

Thanks for the support.
