The problem would be that your volumes are not in state "Used" when
the backup starts.
In addition to the volume retention, you'll also need to set the
volume use time. This could probably set to 23 hours (ensuring the
volume is marked as "used" when the next jobs start).
Don't forget to update the settings for the existing volumes after you
modified the pool configuration!
