Your retention times are set to 3 days.

from the manual:

Volume Retention = <time-period-specification>
    The Volume Retention record defines the length of time that Bacula
    will guarantee that the Volume is not reused counting from the
    time the last job stored on the Volume terminated. A key point is
    that this time period is not even considered as long at the Volume
    remains appendable. 

Is the volume is state Append or Used?
