Arno,

Thanks a lot, pretty simple. I just updated all informations running 
"update" from console and selecting option 13, then "status 1" showed
"07-Nov 12:46 hefesto-dir: Max configured use duration exceeded. Marking 
Volume "StorageDisk" as Used."

So I just ran a job and the new volume has been created:
"Volume name(s):         Backup-2008-11-07"

About my bacula version, do you think that the debian version have a lot 
of problems? I believe that the package maintainer use some patches to 
keep it stable, I'm I right?

Anyway, really thanks for the tip, one more learned.

Fábio Catunda.
