Ah! This may be why I'm having so much trouble.
Now the important question that is not jumping out at me from the
manual. If I take bi-weekly full backups that have a retention period of
29 days 19 hours, and incremental backups that have a retention period
of 13 days 19 hours, how do I handle this in bacula. Job retention seems
to be set per job. I don't REALLY want to have to have two jobs, as I
wonder if that wouldn't introduce other problems, but is that what I
would have to do?
Thanks.

I am pretty sure I am missing something fairly fundamental in the way volumes
are recycled, I've read through the docs, checking the list postings, but
have been unable to get a handle on this.
Basically, if I start with a new set of volumes, with a retention period of 6
days, all is good until the 2nd week, then the tapes fill up and are not
automatically recycled. Then I end up having to manually PURGE the volumes so
that backups work properly. Basically, we can consistently fit 26-27gb on a
tape. Normal daily backup is about 23gb.
Link to all the relevant conf files

From your bacula-dir.conf it looks like your job retention is 30 days.
As I understand bacula it won't (automatically) prune volumes unless it
has purged all jobs referring to this volume.
What am I missing so that I don't have to baby it?
