You probably need to use a 6 day volume retention period rather than 7,
because the last written time is the end of the job, not the start.

Thanks Martin. I was looking at the last-written time for the volumes and it older than 7 days for both.

But my info might have been confusing b/c the 1st of the two volumes in question was manually recycled by the time I wrote this.

And as I said in my other reply today, things seem to be automatically recycling again today - strange.
