That sounds like the FAQ "How does recycling work?" ;-)
The point is, recycling is only triggered when bacula actually needs a
new volume. In your case, I could continue to use the existing one,
did so, and in that process set the "LastWritten" timestamp. Only when
this tape was full, bacula looked for a new one. Naturally, It
wouldn't recycle the tape it just used because that was written on
immediately before.
If you actually want recycling to happen before a job starts you could
use a script to trigger pruning as a run-before script or in an admin
job, I think.

that's why the maximum use duration is set ..
so bacula notices it should not append to that volume and recycle it
instead .. but it doesn't always ..
the wired thing is it works sometimes
