Well, looking through bacula-dir.conf, I see that I forgot and left the client 
resource parameter "File Retention = 60 days", It was supposed to be set to '2 
years'.  I started using Bacula in Oct'14 and this occurred in middle of 
December, so is that the cause?  Here is part of my config:

Client {
  Name = bacula-fd
  Address = bkpcentos7
  FDPort = 9102
  Catalog = MyCatalog
  Password = "<<redacted>>"          # password for FileDaemon
  File Retention = 60 days            # 60 days
  Job Retention = 6 months            # six months
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
Pool {
  Name = LTO4Tapes
  Pool Type = Backup
  Volume Retention = 730 days
  Recycle = no
  AutoPrune = no
  Cleaning Prefix = CLN
# Maximum Volume Bytes = 2000G
}
