I think I have solved/worked around this using a "Dummy" Pool like this:

Pool {
   Name = "ArchivePool"
   Pool Type = Backup
   Storage = "DLT-Tape II"
   Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically 
recycle Volumes
   AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
   Recycle Oldest Volume = yes         # Use oldest Volume
   Volume Retention = 5 Years          #
   Label Format = "Archive-"
#  Maximum Volumes = 15                # 10 Volumes
}
Pool {
   Name = "ArchiveDummyPool"
   Pool Type = Backup
   Storage = FileStorageDev7"
   Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically 
recycle Volumes
   AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
   Recycle Oldest Volume = yes         # Use oldest Volume
   Volume Retention = 1 week
   NextPool= ArchivePool
   Label Format = "Dummy-"
#  Maximum Volumes = 15                # 10 Volumes
}

The Dummy pool has a File Storage device that points to the same 
directory the file volumes are stored in.

And then I use this "archive" job:
Job {
         Name = "Archive_epia"
         Enabled = Yes
         JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
         Level=VirtualFull
         Pool=ArchiveDummyPool
         Client = "epia-fd"
         FileSet = "epia-fs"
         Write Bootstrap = "/home/bacula/file-dev/epia.bsr"
}

Now I just have to figure out how to prevent restore from taking the 
ArchivePool into account for "standard" restores (because that would be 
slow)
