Yes.  The dbcheck program will remove unused filename and path entries, but
Bacula doesn't.

Sounds right to me.  The only other thing you might need is to update/restore
rows in the media table (e.g. if the volumes were purged).

Sounds like the action of the client AutoPrune settings (AutoPrune defaults to
true).
