All your volumes here Used or Archive meaning they are not appendable.
 volumes with a retention period of 518,400 are usable 6 days after
the last written time. dgs-sgcexp-ent2-daily-vol-0164 should recycle
today since 2009-02-19 21:36:53 + 6 days is some time today.

Yes, if volumes are daily then I understand volume is not appendable and market 
as used everyday. Then, the volume will be recycled   but I think this is not 
important because device is a file.

Sorry but I can't understand why bacula is asking for a label if there is no 
need to append data, and config has a label format:

Pool {
  Name = "pool-daily-dgs-sgcexp-ent2"
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
  Pool Type = Backup
  LabelFormat = "dgs-sgcexp-ent2-daily-vol-"
  AutoPrune = yes
  VolumeRetention = 6d
  Maximum Volumes = 8 
  Recycle = yes
}

thanks for your time ;-)
