The Retention is set for the Job not on the file. These files should be
getting into the database. 
Conf. 
JobDefs {
  Name = "Critical"
  Type = Backup
  Level = Full
  FileSet = "System"
  Schedule = "Weekly"
  Storage = PV-124T
  RescheduleOnError = yes
  RescheduleInterval = 5
  RescheduleTimes = 3
  Messages = Standard
  Pool = Default
  Priority = 8
  Job Retention = 28 days
}
To run bscan I mounted the correct drive then stoped the bacula-sd and
started the bscan with this command. 
[root@Server ~]# bscan -s -m -P 'Password' -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -v
-V 000101L2 /dev/nst0
I am running a complete bscan on the files and I saw the system go past the
JobID and then not have the values reinserted into the database. Does bscan
insert them at the end of the run?

Here is the log.

I meant File Retention. There is File Retention, Volume Retention, and
Job Retention.

I doubt you have that set. And to me this looks like some type of bug
(I may be wrong). One way to recover is to use bscan to reimport the
missing file records to your database. Or possibly first use bls to
see what actually is on the tapes.
