According to 
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/long-repeats#al_002dfine-repeats

The \volta1 and \volta2 sections should be within the curly braces of the 
repeat block.
If you then change your repeats from volta to segno you get a ‘D.C. al Fine’ at 
the end and no errors (volta gets you the repeat bar at the end). Not sure 
whether that text would be easy to customise (could not find a reference for it 
on a quick search, only for an alternative Fine text, not for an alternative 
D.C. al Fine text)


Kind regards
Hans
