[Bacula-users] Why isn't bacula asking for a tape from the pool?

Hi, well its happened, I did ask about this on this list a while back and thought it was sorted. I only have 10 tapes in my pool. I set up a daily incremental, and identified the pool to have 10 in. It worked fine and each time a change was needed I labelled them on the fly, like 002, 003 etc. Its just finished tape 010 and is asking me to mount a new one, the message is the same as the others i.e. please use "label" to create a new one, and NOT "please mount volume 001". I did mount tape 001 anyway, but it refused to continue the backup and is still asking for a new one. The pool is defined like this:

Pool {
  Name = P01
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can
automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 14 days          
  Maximum Volumes = 10
}

and the volumes have been used like this:

+---------+------------+-----------+---------+----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+
| MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | Enabled | VolBytes       | VolFiles | VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten         |
