Uh ... You didn't answer the question. In what way is it not working?
In what way is it not doing what you want? If you don't say, we have to
guess.
What I would GUESS is happening is that your first couple of clients
back up, then Bacula marks the tape used and asks for another ... backs
up two more clients to it, marks it used, asks for another ... and so
on. But this is only a guess.

Yes, I follow that quite clearly.

Ask yourself this: How many TOTAL clients are you backing up?
You do intend to back them up every night, right? Or do you intend to
back them up only Monday through Friday?
If I understand correctly what you're trying to do, you almost certainly
want to take out that "Maximum Volume Jobs = 2" directive from both
Pools. Don't just bump the number up higher, completely remove the
directive. Instead, use "Volume use duration = 7d", or perhaps even
6.5d, so that the tape remains writeable throughout the week. But I'm
only guessing at what your actual problem is. We can't tell you how to
fix your problem until you tell us what the problem IS. You've
explained most of what you're trying to do; now you need to tell us how,
exactly, Bacula is NOT DOING what you want it to.
