Sorry forgot to add:
I am running version 15.02 on Debian and the two pool definitions are as 
follows:

Pool {
  Name = "Air-Full"
  PoolType = "Backup"
  LabelFormat = "Air-"
  ActionOnPurge = "Truncate"
  MaximumVolumeJobs = 1
  VolumeRetention = 31536000
  NextPool = "Virtual-Air"
  Storage = "FreeNAS1"
  AutoPrune = yes
  Recycle = yes
}

And 

Pool {
  Name = "Virtual-Air"
  PoolType = "Backup"
  LabelFormat = "Virtual-"
  VolumeRetention = 31536000
  Storage = "FreeNAS1"
}

My understanding is that the job creates the full and incremental backup 
volumes in the Pool, Air-Full, by running the job with a level of full. I can 
then run the job with a level of VirtualFull and bacula will copy the full and 
the various incremental volumes to the pool Virtual-Air and consolidate into 
one volume. The various volumes are created in the pool Air-Full as expected, 
the failure happens when I run with a level of VirtualFull.

Both pools are on the same storage, I have not tested yet if that is the issue. 
If it is, and I have to have the two pools on separate storage, what happens 
with the media type as my understanding is to use separate media type if you 
have different storage devices in which case would bacula get confused on a 
restore?
