Remember that the pool resource in bacula is just a template on how to
create new volumes. Changing anything in that resource does not apply
to volumes that already exist. To fix you need to run 2 commands in
bconsole. They should be similar to the following ( I am going from
memory here ):

update pool from resource

update all volumes in pool
