Correct. Retention is the _minimum_ period before the tape can be marked
for reuse
Only when Bacula needs a tape *and* it cannot find one with status
"Append" or "Recycle" it will select one in state "Full" or "Used" and
recycle it.
Also correct - and if you have a recycle pool, only if that is empty too.

It reported that all jobs had been purged from the tape but still did
not recycle it.
After a tape is purged Bacula won't recycle it until the next time it
checks the drive (assuming it's waiting for a tape).
You can speed things up by telling it to mount the drive that it's
waiting for (use slot 0).
