I'm using bacula to do backups of several clients and store them in individual 
directories on a hard disk. The volumes are labeled automatically. All clients 
are configured the same way but in one case (probably after manual removal of 
some files) bacula is sending me a message like this:

01-May 01:08 file-server-dir: CVSBackup.2008-05-01_01.00.01 Warning: Wanted to 
create Volume "CVS0006", but it already exists. Trying again.
01-May 01:08 file-server-dir: CVSBackup.2008-05-01_01.00.01 Warning: Wanted to 
create Volume "CVS0007", but it already exists. Trying again.

and so on until

01-May 01:08 file-server-dir: CVSBackup.2008-05-01_01.00.01 Error: Too many 
failures. Giving up creating Volume name.
01-May 01:08 file-server-sd: Job CVSBackup.2008-05-01_01.00.01 waiting. Cannot 
find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label"  command to create a new Volume for:
    Storage:      "Directory_cvs" (/mnt/filestorage/cvs)
    Media type:   File_cvs
    Pool:         CVS

Manual labeling doesn't solve the problem.
The volumes (files) bacula wants to create don't really exist. The only file in 
that directory is CVS0002.

Here are configs for this client:

in bacula-dir.conf:

Job {
  Name = "CVSBackup"
  Type = Backup
  Client = CVS-fd
  FileSet = "CVS set"
  Schedule = "MonthlyCycle"
  Storage = FileStorage_cvs
  Messages = Standard
  Pool = CVS
}

Client {
  Name = CVS-fd
  Address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
  FDPort = 9102
  Catalog = MyCatalog
  Password = "xxxxxxxxxx"
  File Retention = 60d
  Job Retention = 60d
  AutoPrune = yes
}

Storage {
  Name = "FileStorage_cvs"
  Address = file-server
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = "xxxxxxxxxx"
  Device = Directory_cvs
  Media Type = File_cvs
}

Pool {
  Name = CVS
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 60d
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 5g
  Accept Any Volume = yes
  LabelFormat = "CVS"
}


        
and bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
  Name = Directory_cvs
  Media Type = File_cvs
  Archive Device = /mnt/filestorage/cvs
  LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bacula label unlabelled media
  Random Access = Yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
  RemovableMedia = no;
  AlwaysOpen = no;
}

Any ideas what's going on here?
