Since your email is huge I am not going to answer inline or quote
large sections. The problem you are having is caused by not having any
volumes labeled. To fix this you will most likely want to enable
automatic volume labeling.

After fixing this you have a second problem with your configuration.
You have not limited the size (or use duration) of the disk volume. If
you do not do this bacula will keep appending to your single volume
until your hard drive runs out of space at that point the current job
will stick waiting for you to somehow add more space. On top of this
issue this will prevent prevent recycling to work at all since
retention periods only start when a volume is marked Full or Used. To
fix this problem enable one or more of the following in your pool
definition:

Use Volume Once = yes
Volume Use Duration = ttt
Maximum Volume Jobs = nnn
Maximum Volume Bytes = mmm
