Isn't there a way that this can be done manually? The problem that I have on
my side is that according to the director the job failed but it picks up
that there was data transfer and according to the FD the job was successful,
now even though the DIR recons it was a failed job the files are on the tape
- now the question is how to get it off in a restore or how can I "import"
the client status into the DIR so that I can restore those files?

Strangely these errors only occur on the Dell PE 2950 with MS Windows Server
2003 x86 and x64 but not on the Linux counter part with the same hardware -
which brings to mind the age old question which is better at the end Linux
or Windows? In my mind there is actually no comparison, if I could I would
go Linux all the way.

We set up the heartbeat for any client-server session that exists over a
firewall (which more often than not time out long-running sessions with
little or no traffic) or trouble router.

I would love it if the director->fd relationship could be re-established
in the event of network failures.  I.e., the director realizes that it's
connection to the fd has failed, so it re-establishes it at a later time
to find out the status of a backup job or retrieve messages.
