This is the expected default behavior. I mean bacula will always want
to use the last volume with the Append status. Putting other volumes
in the drive that do not have this status will not force bacula to
recycle the current volume. You can set several settings in your
configuration to make bacula work the way you want.

Please post your Pool resource.
