Now two weeks later, I see that the automatic recycling of tapes still does not work with my configuration.
Two weeks ago I added Recycle Oldest Volume = yes to my pools, reloaded the configuration and relabeled the tapes. Today, the first tape was in turn again but it was not recycled automatically - I had to prune and relabel it manually. Is there something else that I can do?
