What I'm trying to determine here is a onsite, offsite retention period. For
example, when I send the tapes away when should I have them returned to me to
add them in a blank tapes pool. I realize that the Pool directive specifies
Volume Retention days. Maybe I'm thinking about this wrong? Any advice would be
appreciated.

There is no mechanism in Bacula to set specific individual expiry dates on a
per-volume basis, no. That's such a niche need you are the only user so far to
have ever asked for it, and may well be the only one ever to ask for it.
There is no facility at this time to generate a separate report when a volume
expires and is purged, but it's a fairly simple task to create a script that
uses the console to generate a regular report of purged volumes. If it keeps a
state log of what it has reported in the past, it could equally easily report
only newly-pruned volumes. I don't know whether that would meet your reporting
needs, though.
