It looks like you need a label format in your pool definition so that
bacula will add more volumes when needed up to the 11 you specified. I
was going to say that only file-0001 will be available today since the
retention period (of 13 days) starts from the last written date but it
appears that something is wrong with its retention period. The number
after 440 should be 1123200 (seconds in 13 days) but its blank. To fix
that use update and select "Pool from resource"
