I just bscanned all the volumes, marked them Used and let Bacula start doing 
backups on them. The weird thing is that Bacula keeps asking for an appendable 
volume for every such job, although the retention times of some of the volumes 
are already over and the pool is right too. If I purge a volume, the backup 
can use it just OK.

The pool has always had and still has these options:
Recycle = yes
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
AutoPrune = yes

Another weird thing is that Bat shows all these volumes having 2 jobs, but all 
the "good" ones have only 1. Also, "First Written" is "0000-00-00 00:00:00" 
for these bscanned volumes.

Any guesses on why Bacula can't use these volumes without me purging them 
manually?

PS. The Bacula server is 3.0.2 now.
