My guess: Because it was already running.  Bacula does not cancel
running jobs.  The directives are applied to jobs as they are being
added to the queue.

Try running three jobs and then you'll see.

Then you might want to look into these directives:

Cancel Queued Duplicates = <yes|no>
If this directive is set to yes (default) any job that is already queued 
to run but not yet running will be canceled.

Cancel Running Duplicates = <yes|no>
If this directive is set to yes any job that is already running will be 
canceled. The default is no.
