Since you bring it up, it was set up by a former co-worker.  It apparantly
worked for a while, stopped in December 2009, and now I have to get it
running again.  So no, I didn't edit the configuration.

I currently have 3 instances of Bacula running on various machines /
network / locations.  I set one of them up myself and it is working
correctly.  The other 2 I inherited from a former co-worker; 1 works fine,
the other is acting just a little strange.  I'm guessing the most likely
reason is that there is a mistake in the config file, perhaps a missing
equal sign or mismatched curly-brackets.  I've checked the config
file and it looks fine to me, but it wouldn't be the first time I couldn't
find my own mistake.

/usr/sbin/bacula-dir -t shows no errors, so I need something more.

So if Bacula can tell me, in full excruciating detail, "This is how I think
the GP01-Backup job is configured" then I can compare it to how I wanted
the backup to be configured, and hopefully find and fix the mistake.
