This is expected unless you take specific steps to force bacula use
the tapes you want.

The safest way to do this is make a pool for each day.

MondayPool
TuesdayPool
...

And then only put the Monday tape in the MondayPool

and then have your schedule backup jobs on Monday to the MondayPool ...

A hack to force Bacula to use the Friday tape today is to

update volume on the Thursday Tape and mark it Full or Used

Then purge the Friday tape.
