Were the volumes created with these defaults? If not, have you run the 'update volume' command?
If the volumes carry the same values as these defaults, then I see the only problem being that your volumes are not marked as used/full once written (they are left as append and thus not pruned/recycled). To fix this try the following in your pool resource: Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Will mark the volume as USED and allow it to be pruned and recycled when needed. Thanks.
