Yes, the default file retention period is 60 days and the default job 
retention is 180 days. Auto pruning operates on files, jobs & volumes. It 
would appear that all of the files and jobs related to these volumes had been 
pruned from your catalog. Once they all were pruned the volumes were marked 
as purged.
