Being marked as used should have nothing at all to do with the ability
to restore data. Unless the volumes are getting pruned automatically.

So you are using 5.0.0. There were several bugs found since its
release. One weird one is on first run bacula says its pruning volumes
that are around 40 years old.

Please post the messages you get when you try to restore any of this
data. Along with any log info that says it is pruning. Like you
mentioned in the section about using bscan.
