Bareos will be very aggressive about not reusing a volume unless it has to. The retention times remove entries form the database and make volumes eligible to be recycled, but if you allow auto labeling and do nothing to limit the number of volumes you have it will keep labeling until it uses up disk space.
As for your case can you send your config to the list for your storages and your pools? That message says it wants to mount that volume and says it’s append-able (list volume pool=<pool name> and check the status, it should say append. My guess is your pool or storage config ether limits the number of volumes you can mount or it thinks that these are manually mounted (like tapes or USB drives). If you send the config for those to the list probably help more.
