Sorry a bit of a newbie to bacula.
I purged the Thursday volume and then set it to status recycle. What's
confusing me is why it accepted the Thursday volume for one job and then
changed it's status to "Used" and then asked for the 3_monday fo r the
last two jobs.
It's almost acting like the tape is full (which it's not) and wanting
another tape.

If I am not mistaken, the exact rules that Bacula uses for recycling
and for
selecting the next tape (two different alorithms) are written in the
manual.
If you have those in front of you, it makes it a lot easier to
understand
what how Bacula chooses the next tape.
One of Bacula's methods of preserving old data is to select the Volume
with
the oldest last write time. Well, in looking at your list, it seems to
me a
good candidate would be: 3_monday, since it was apparently never
written (a
zero date). It is also marked to be recycled, which gives it priority
over
purged volumes.
