Thanks - finally (again) a usable overview of your system in an error

Yes and no.
Your configuration looks a bit different, but that's not important
here :-)
The main thing is this:

You set up the pool to automatically create up to four volumes.
You allow six jobs per volume.
You can store 24 jobs in this pool.
You run four jobs per hour to this pool.
The pool is full after six hours.
The first volume can be recycled 30 days (Volume Retention) after it
was last written.
Everything clear now?
For your case, I'd suggest to set the retention time to 4.5 hours,
reload the director's configuration, update the volumes to reflect the
new default settings, and see what happens.
