I read somewhere that the action= purge flag was deprecated after a given 
Bacula version in favor of the truncate command. 
Last time I tested this with Bacula 9 the following make the trick: 

RunScript { 
Console = "prune expired volume yes" 
Console = "truncate pool=FileSemanal storage=FileChgrSemanalChgr" 
RunsWhen = Before 
RunsOnFailure = yes 
RunsOnClient = no 
} 

I hope you have success.
