There is a recycle flag in this command:

#list media pool=BackupCatalogs
+---------+---------------+-----------+---------+---------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+
| mediaid | volumename    | volstatus | enabled | volbytes      |
volfiles | volretention | recycle | slot | inchanger | mediatype |
lastwritten         |
+---------+---------------+-----------+---------+---------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+
|     149 | Catalogs-0007 | Full      |       1 | 2,147,437,341 |
  0 |    1,296,000 |       1 |    0 |         0 | File      |

|     150 | Catalogs-0012 | Full      |       1 | 2,147,429,566 |
  0 |    1,296,000 |       1 |    0 |         0 | File      |

|     159 | Catalogs-0005 | Full      |       1 | 2,147,429,910 |
  0 |    1,296,000 |       1 |    0 |         0 | File      |

BTW, what I meant by scripting is along the lines of

fileserv ~ # echo "list media pool=BackupCatalogs" | bconsole | grep Full
|     149 | Catalogs-0007 | Full      |       1 | 2,147,437,341 |
  0 |    1,296,000 |       1 |    0 |         0 | File      |
2009-02-11 01:21:19 |
|     150 | Catalogs-0012 | Full      |       1 | 2,147,429,566 |
  0 |    1,296,000 |       1 |    0 |         0 | File      |
2009-02-13 01:24:26 |
|     159 | Catalogs-0005 | Full      |       1 | 2,147,429,910 |
  0 |    1,296,000 |       1 |    0 |         0 | File      |
2009-02-12 01:23:00 |
|     166 | Catalogs-0008 | Full      |       1 | 2,147,459,242 |
  0 |    1,296,000 |       1 |    0 |         0 | File      |
