Why not just set it to use a single pool of 10 tapes and run a backup
every weekday night?

If you put the tapes in in order, you'll use tapes 1-5 the first week,
then 6-10 the next week, then 1-5 again...

If you hit a public holiday then you can either mess around with purging
volumes or just let the rotation skew by one day (e.g. tapes 10 and 1-4
one week, then 5-9 the next).

I don't understand why you *MUST* use alternate sets of 5 tapes each
week... bacula will keep a database record of which tapes were used
when, so you really don't need to concern yourself about the rotation at
all! Just let bacula do its job, and use the pool parameters to tune it
so that it works smoothly.
