Hello Arno,

the maijor problem is, that bacula asks for a appendable Volume, istead of reusing a purged Volume.

What I see makes me think that everything's working correctly.

Tapes are purged, and that's what you want. The status "Recycled" is 
only applied if a tape is actually selected for reuse, i.e. in the short 
time between the DIR selecting which tape to use next and, in this 
process, possibly pruning volumes, and the notification from the SD that 
this tape is actually in use again.

Usually, you see this stae in the catalog in two cases only:
- You have to manually change tapes, and for whatever reason you feed a 
tape to Bacula that is not the same one it requested. That's not a 
problem, by the way. The same can happen when you change magazines and 
you load another magazine than the one with the already recycled tape.
In both cases, Bacula will simply select another volume to work with.
- When, for whatever reason, Bacula stops working during tape change 
operations.

In any case, a tape with VolStatus Recycled will be the best choice when 
Bacula needs a new tape.
