Aren't the AutoPrune and VolumeRentention fields written to the volume when
it is labelled? I seem to remember something in the manual about having to
update your volumes if you change certain attributes regarding
Pruning/Recycling/Retention.

I would think a pool specified on a Schedule resource's Run line should
