0010074: Wont store food in barrels
Dwarves wouldn't store food in barrels. Found the same issue on here from years back. Solution was to dump the nest boxes. That did fix it.
No tags attached.

The description is rather skimpy on details, and having food in barrels in a fortress using nest boxes is not a rampant issue, so the problem ought to lie in some detailed interaction. What's the relation between the barrels and the nest boxes? Are they stored in the same stockpile, and, if so, what are the stockpile settings? Are the nest boxes built and, if so, are they built in some kind of proximity to the food stockpile? What's the "food" that won't be stored (e.g. the eggs in the nest boxes)?
There is not much hope of finding the cause of the issue without a detailed description of when it happens and/or a save demonstrating the issue.

Presumably you're referring to 0004054. A save would be helpful to diagnose and fix this issue; please upload your save to DFFD ( http://dffd.bay12games.com/ [^] ).
