Volumes won't get deleted automatically. If you don't want to recycle 
existing volumes, you have to delete old ones manually, or make a script to 
do it. Deleting might require both deleting from the catalog (since you have 
a limit of 'maximum volumes' which would prevent creating new ones) and also 
deleting the actual files. I think there were some discussion about that 
kind of script recently (in January?) in this list.

Btw, if this isn't your private-only system, it would be wise to remove the 
passwords from the conf files you post to public list.
