If I'm correct, it is probably due to volume retention of 1 month -
after one month, the oldest volume will be recycled. 

It will never go *above* 45, even if you increase retention (in that
case it will stop and ask operator to insert/label new empty volumes)

Note that retention does not directly influence data on tape, but
just the catalog database; so you could still bscan(8) old tapes and
get data back in the catalog - it is only when those volumes finally
get used again that the old data will be destroyed.
