No.
Maximum use duration sets the maximum period that a tape will be used for
backing up before being toggled from "append" into "used" mode.
This is useful for ensuring tapes are changed out weekly, etc - without
having error messages about the tape being missing when the next backup
cycle starts.
so bacula notices it should not append to that volume and recycle it instead
.. but it doesn't always ..
Most likely there are still jobs on the tape which haven't expired.
A tape is only flagged as recyclable when there are no more current jobs
on it, or when explicitly purged (which has the same effect)
