​Ooops- I figured it out. The order of operations that was performed was:
* Purge (Recycle = 0)
* Recycle = 1​ (I did this, but Bacula did nothing to the tape)
* status=Append (I did this)

...At that point, we had a purged, appendable volume and like you say,
Bacula appended to it.

​Today it was already Recycle=1 and the data backed up last night was
basically useless so I re-purged it.​ Bacula took it immediately and I can
see that it's writing to the tape from the beginning.

Thanks for the help.
