You're doing this wrong.  You've defined two separate Jobs for the same
backup, you've forced the level in your JobDefs, and you have two
redundant sets of Pool overrides.

Remove the Fileset and Client specificiation from this JobDefs resource.
 They belong in the Job resource; otherwise, you've tied this JobDefs to
a single client and completely defeated the point of JobDefs by making
it non-reusable.  I'd advise making the default level in the JobDefs
Full, and the default Pool your full pool.

Don't specify the Storage in the Job definition.  Let Bacula figure out
which Storage to use.  Your FileSet and your Client directives belong
here.  You're also specifying a static default Pool in your Job which is
better left in the JobDefs.

Get rid of this second Job definition.  It's doing you no good
whatsoever and just confusing the issue.

Remove the Pool overrides from this Schedule.  Pool overrides in the
Schedule are deprecated because they don't work reliably and cannot be
made to work reliably.  Having two sets of overrides for the same job is
likely confusing Bacula.  Keep the ones in your JobDefs; lose the ones
in the Schedule.



After those changes, you should be looking at something pretty much like
this:

JobDefs {
  Name = H34-FileServ-def
  Type = Backup
  Level = Full
  Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
  Messages = Standard
  Pool = Full-Pool-dsk-tpe
  Full Backup Pool = Full-Pool-dsk-tpe
  Differential Backup Pool = Diff-Pool-dsk-tpe
  Incremental Backup Pool = Incre-Pool-dsk-dsk
  Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/%c.bsr"
  Priority = 10
}

Job {
  Name = H34-FileServ-dsk-tap
  JobDefs = H34-FileServ-def
  Client = housigma34-fd
  FileSet = "H34-FileServ"
}

Schedule {
  Name = "WeeklyCycle"
  Run = Level=Full 1st sun at 20:00
  Run = Level=Differential 2nd-5th sun at 20:00
  Run = Level=Incremental mon-fri at 22:00
}


Give that a shot and see if it works for you.
