Do you understand why things get sent to particular pools?

*everything* that you select in a pool definition is a restriction.  You
are saying that anything that does not exactly match your pool's
definition must go to another pool.

The 'default' pool has to be there (and enabled) in case something comes
in that doesn't match any of your defined pools.

So the more you select in a pool, the fewer backups that will actually
match and use it.

Can you post the setup of your 'Calvin' pool?  Whatever you've set in
it?
