I had this same problem when I was using a bunch of regular expressions. 
  As I understand it, Kern has been working on that.  When he looked at 
my FileSet definition, I had used several regexDir and RegexFile lines. 
  He suggested I change them to Wild based (i.e. WildFile and WildDir) 
and that solved my issues.  He also said it would improve performance 
and it did.

You may be end the jobs better if you restart the bacula service on the 
clients with problems rather than cancel the job from the server as 
communications between the two got messed up when I had this issue.  I 
know that's not as handy but the key is solving the problem not dealing 
with the symptoms.
