I ended up getting it to work.  I deleted the p01-001 file that was 
being overwritten, I dropped all the tables and recreated, rebooted the 
computer, and then everything worked.  For the reference of anyone else 
having a similar problem, my configuration is as follows:

Pool {
  Name = p01
  PoolType = Backup
  Storage = MainArchive
  MaximumVolumeJobs = 1
  MaximumVolumeBytes = 2147483648
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 90 days
  Recycle = yes
  LabelFormat = "p01-"
}

Thanks John and Arno for your suggestion of using rsync.  That sounds 
exactly like what I need for the next step in my project.

I do have one other question maybe you two or someone else on the list 
could answer.  I do have a few systems backing up over the public 
internet.  I couldn't seem to get TLS to work but do have data 
encryption enabled.  Is just data encryption alone pretty safe?
