Aye, I made to mistakes
1: i was expecting the truncate to happen as soon as i ran "purge" without
extra arguments. didn't know about running it as a RunScript / Manually with
the full command of "purge volume action=truncate storage=File allpools"
2: my volumes did not have actiononpurge=1 in the database.
