The Jukebox is somehow not recycling/reusing them.
I believe it's a config issue.

Re: NetWorker media: (waiting) Waiting for 1 writable volumes to backup pool 'Full' tape(s) on xxx
It has been a while since I used Networker, but if I recall correctly each backup job you set up in Networker has a retention period.
In order for a tape to be re-used all backup jobs that were written to that tape must be "expired" or older than the number of days (weeks, months, whatever) specified as its retention period. Until that happens, the tapes cannot be reused.
There are ways to manually expire jobs, but I can't recall the exact procedure right now. This should be covered in your Networker documentation.

How is retention period detected? Can relabeling of the tapes help? If yes, how to succesfully relabel a tape?

Yes, manual relabeling of a tape should help.
In Networker Administrator, first find a tape from the pool 'Full' which you want to use. Use the 'volumes' tab for this. When double clicking one of these tapes, you will see a list of savesets (backups) present on this tape. You can sort these by date to see how recently this tape has been used.
Once you have found a tape to relabel (or you have put a brand new one in the library), go to the 'configuration' tab, choose your tape robot, right click and go into 'operations'.
There, select the slot holding your tape and click 'Label'. Make sure you select the right pool when labeling ('Full', in your case).
Note that relabeling a tape destroys all data on it (you'll be warned again) and will make the tape available for new savesets.
Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Wout

Re: NetWorker media: (waiting) Waiting for 1 writable volumes to backup pool 'Full' tape(s) on xxx
When you edit a client configuration you can see its 'browse policy' and 'retention policy'. These policies are separately defined within 'policies'.
When the 'browse' time of a saveset has past, clients can no longer browse through the files of this saveset. These files can however still be recovered as long as the tape hasn't been relabled (or 'recycled').
When the retention time of a saveset is over, this saveset is marked as 'recyclable'. (this means it is ready for throwing away, but it's still there for now)
When -all- savesets on a particular tape are 'recyclable' (the browse and retention periods have past), the tape itself will become recyclable. As from this moment Networker will be able to relabel the tape by itself if needed, or you could safely relabel the tape manually.
Hope that clarifies a bit.
Cheers,
Wout
