A minor puzzle

These are the enabled jobs from my schedules:

# Standard client schedule
Schedule {
   Name = "Monthly Rotation"
   Run = Full 1st mon at 04:30
   Run = Differential 2nd-5th mon at 04:30
   Run = Incremental tue-sun at 04:30
}

# Catalog backup schedule
Schedule {
   Name = "Catalog"
   Run = Full 1st mon at 04:55
   Run = Differential 2nd-5th mon at 04:55
   Run = Incremental tue-sun at 04:55
}

# Full backup archive schedule
Schedule {
   Name = "Full Backup Archive"
   Run = Full 1st mon at 10:00
}

Schedule {
   Name = "Volume Cleanup"
   Run = Full mon at 03:10
}



There *should* have been a set of incremental backups this morning 
starting at 04:30.  But they never ran.  This is the tail of the log:

28-Feb 04:56 minbar-dir JobId 4982: Begin pruning Jobs older than 12 
months .
28-Feb 04:56 minbar-dir JobId 4982: No Jobs found to prune.
28-Feb 04:56 minbar-dir JobId 4982: Begin pruning Files.
28-Feb 04:57 minbar-dir JobId 4982: Pruned Files from 1 Jobs for client 
minbar from catalog.
28-Feb 04:57 minbar-dir JobId 4982: End auto prune.

01-Mar 10:26 minbar-dir JobId 0: Max configured use duration=82,800 sec. 
exceeded. Marking Volume "FULL-20260202-04:30" as Used.


I've had times before when a nightly incremental just didn't run, for no 
reason I could discern.  I haven't really paid attention to whether it 
consistently happens on specific *days*.  The console shows the backups 
yesterday morning as the last executed, and the Full backups tomorrow 
morning as the next scheduled.

Does anyone see anything wrong in my schedules?
