The jobs might 'overtake' your retention periods.
Use the llist command to find out when the volume requested was last
written to, add the retention time, and then you see when the tape can
be recycled.
I guess that the job requiring this tape is scheduled to a time before that.
This can happen when your jobs wait a liitle for the tape each day, and
this time will add up because the retention time only starts after the -
now postponed - jobs finish.
After some time, the retention delay might become greater than the spare
time you have set up.
In the end, Bacula can't prune jobs because they are still in the
retention period when the jobs start.

Oh, I hope I understood your problem right. A more detailed explanation
might be possible with some real data. Post the actual messages you get,
along with the llist output for the volume requested, and also add the
query results for this tapes jobs to it. I suppose you'll see the reason
yourself :-)
