Maybe nothing. Bacula reuses volumes only if absolutely necessary,
that could be the moment when a backup starts and bacula needs an new
volume. If there are other volumes in state append, bacula will use
them first.

Have you already seen a backup which should reuse an volume of the odd
pool fail? If you configured bacula correct, it'll recycle the volume
monday-odd just before it is needed (beginning of the backup).
