Dan,

The main cause of my confusion is that Bacula usually just creates a new 
volume file when the current one is full or marked as (unless a volume has 
already been recycled). This is why I only get the errror elsewhere if there 
is no space left on the other storage servers.

I cannot understand why periodically Bacula stops and instead generates this 
email for just this one server. Admittedly it is the second busiest storage 
on the network.

For the director I'm running 5.2.11 from RPM on a Fedora 17 server. This is 
box is also the main storage server.

The storage server in question is running 5.0.3 from RPM on a Fedora 16 
server.

The definition for Hales is:

Pool {
  Name = Hales
  Pool Type = Backup
  Volume Use Duration = 23h
  Maximum Volume Bytes=5G
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 3 months
  Label Format = "hales"
}
