Do you mean with "pool retentions" volume retention, or is it somehow 
possible to specify file/job retention too for a pool?

Volume retention does take precedence in the sense that longer file/job 
retention values don't prevent recycling. But my original (possibly 
unclearly expressed) point was that since volume retention expiration does 
not (and must not) force any recycle yet, also the file/job records will 
stay in the catalog longer than volume retention -until the volume really 
gets recycled. This will significantly extend the lifetime of file/job 
records, and thus the catalog size.

So, I'd like to get rid of the file/job records _before_ recycling takes 
place.
