You've left out information.  I would have included job output details 
so we can see the errors, messages, warnings, whatever happens.  :)

You would need to run this Admin job on the Client which is on the SD 
box.  Are you doing this?

Show us:

the Job resource (and any JobDefs that it uses)
the Client resource for that Job
The Storage resource
And perhaps the bacula-sd.conf
What version of Bacula you are using
Are all components on the same version?

OK.  Understood.

ssh might be feasible, but lets look at that after we see the client 
output job...
