Issue

The command `show pool' on bacula console is reporting incorrect retention periods:

*show pool=BDC-Tape-year

Cleaning Prefix = "CLN"
Pool Type = Backup
Storage = BDC-Tape1
ScratchPool = BDC-Scratch
RecyclePool = BDC-Scratch
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 7 years
Volume use duration = 1 week
