[Bacula-users] Cannot find any appendable volumes

Hi there,

I've been struggling for weeks to get my previously working setup
working again. :-( I read the docs multiple times but was unable to spot
my fault.

I've got the following setup:

Pool {
  Name = Weekly
  Pool Type = Backup
  # volumes are moved to Scratch manually, avoid automatic recycling
  Recycle=no
  AutoPrune = no
  Volume Retention = 6 weeks
  Volume Use Duration = 23 hours
  RecyclePool = Scratch
}

Pool {
  Name = Scratch
  Pool Type = Backup
  RecyclePool = Scratch
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Use Duration = 2 days
  Volume Retention = 14 days
}

Pool {
  Name = Daily-Autoloader
  Pool Type = Backup
  Volume Retention = 14 days
  Volume Use Duration = 2 days
  RecyclePool = Scratch
} 

And even though there are volumes in the scratch pool, e.g.:
Pool: Scratch
+---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+

Bacula does not pick them up for the weekly backup. The daily backups
work as expected. But all the weeklies fail:
Job xxx_Server.2010-02-14_06.10.36 waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label"  command to create a new Volume for:
    Storage:      "Superloader-Drive" (/dev/nst0)
    Pool:         Woechentlich
    Media type:   LTO-3 

What am I missing? Do I need a Recycle=yes in the Weekly pool? I suppose
not - at least according to the documentation, Bacula will always look
into the scratch pool for new volumes.

BTW: Bacula version is 2.2.5.

Thanks for any hints,

Tino.
