Depending on your Schedules, you might need to make the volume use
duration on the Differential and Incremental pools longer.  I would
advise adding a couple of extra days to each.  Instead of trying to make
the use window just long enough to contain all the jobs you plan to go
on it, try instead making it just short enough to force a change before
the next job you do NOT want to go on that tape.

I also advise against using "Use any volume = no".  This is seldom a
good idea, and in more recent Bacula versions, it defaults to yes (in
fact, it's my understanding that in the latest Bacula beta versions,
this directive has been deprecated and removed altogether).
