The only way to force creating a pool is by restarting bacula-dir. By the way - did you remember to run bacula-dir -t before restarting? This will error-check your configuration file. It should simply return without printing anything. If it does print something, fix your configuration file. Then restart bacula-dir. Next, let's take a step back and analyze the problem. Let's see what bacula-dir thinks its pools are.

The backups should go to the Default pool. but i dont see any connection to the FileStorage i configured/changed. can i see where that pool thinks it lives? And apparently the default pool is working quite well. I see that there are more than 1000 volumes in that pool, so you must have used it for a while, apparently successfully. I'm not quite sure what you mean by FileStorage. Did you create a new Storage resource? Storage is not the same as pool. Storage accesses volumes. It doesn't know anything about which volumes exist, it just simply reads and writes them (and creates and labels them as well when told to do so). Pools are collections of database entries for volumes. A pool will usually indicate which storage resource to use for physical access to the volumes. The reverse is not true - a storage resource never knows which pool a volume belongs to. I don't know enough about the internals of bacula, but my gut feeling is that there is some kind of database corruption.
