Hi Shon,

did you remember to update your volumes after changing the pool
definition? Depending on the size of your catalog, recycling can take
quite a while, but still bacula should not create new volumes. I don't
see a "maximum volumes" in your pool def, so basically the number of
volumes in the pool isn't restricted per se. 

Cheers, Uwe
