I have an issue with bacula version 5.2.6 on Debian.
bacula does not delete the physical files from disk after the retention period 
has expired. I have different paths ( disks) for different bacula jobs. let's 
say the backup location for client X is under drive 1 and the backup location 
for client Y is under drive 2. when the the retention period has expired for 
one of the incremental backup of client 1, bacula  marks it purged and uses the 
lable for creating a new incremental backup for client Y under disk 2, but it 
does not delete the OLD file from the disk1. 

part of my bacula-dir configuration files related to purge:
Pool {

Name = IncrementalPool

  Pool Type = Backup

  Recycle = yes

  AutoPrune = yes

  UseVolumeOnce = yes

  Volume Retention = 1 weeks

  Volume Use Duration = 23h

 ....

}
