That's your problem, right there. I had a suspicion that would be what
was wrong.
You've told it to use each volume once, and it's doing exactly what you
told it to. The problem is, that directive doesn't mean what you
probably think it does. You presumably meant "Use this volume for one
set of backups only." But what that directive actually means is "Allow
EXACTLY ONE JOB on this volume."
Try replacing that directive with this one:
Volume Use Duration = 23h
And you'll want to fix that Volume Retention directive, too, unless you
really want the volume to be pruned the day after the backup. If your
plan is to use the volumes in a 10-day rotation, try setting the Volume
Retention to 9 days.
