Warwick, I'm sure nobody here expects you to contribute before your
questions will be answered, so I don't think it's necessary for you to
apologize :-)

Unfortunately, and I'm only speaking for myself here, I don't have much
spare time at the moment.
These recycling issues are a little hard to diagnose, i.e. you need lots
of information and time to carefully look over all the settings and tape
statuses. So I can only give you some pointers now:

From what I understand - and this directive is deprecated! - this
should mean that the volumes will not be recycled.

Ok, a volume will be kept for 12 hours after it's finished. Finised
meand being set to "Used" or "Full".

When you change pool settings you have to update the volumes to reflect
the new default settings.
Specific volume settings can be examined with the llist command.
It might help if you posted the data for one volume which you think
should be recycled.
