I didn't see this in your configuration you sent to the list, but I saw you mention a question about multiple pools.  I also saw you have retention settings defined in both client and pool resources.  Volume retention is the only one out of the three that is a pool attribute. Job and client retention should be placed in the client resource.  Since job and client retention are client resources, when a client resource is called (assuming autoprune is enabled) it will go and prune any job on all of its pools.

You can define these values in the pool resource if you want, but just remember that they apply to the client and not the pool itself.  The only safe way I know of to backup clients to multiple pools with separate retention times are to setup multiple client resources for each client.
