[Bacula-users] File jobs purged when they should not

Hi people,

Recently I found a problem when trying to recover my files from a Job. The Files of a Job are purged when they shouldn't be.

For example:

On 1st November a job of 1TB data run. All went well. The Job was an Incremental done every 6 months but it didn't find any previous Full backup, so it performed a full backup. The job take two tapes, the 11L and part of the 12L. The fact is that I tried to do a selective restore from this backup but the job is marked as "purged"!. Mi FileRetention is 6 months, my Job retention 12 months, and my Volume retention 12 months also.
What can be the problem?
All other jobs that run after this went well and I can navigate through their files.
I see that the job is marked as "purged" in the "status" field of the job in the bacula-gui console.

I use a Bacula version 5.0.3 (pretty old but I need to know if its a problem of my config or a bug of this version), in a production server.

I changed my configs, and I reset all the daemons.
I tried to make and restore backups from other pools, and after some days all of them gets purged. For example, another is an Incremental Backup made on 12-11-2012 that went into the 4 weeks Pool, and today at 20-Nov-2012 the list of Files got purged. All my volumes are updated and checked that are ok to have the correct retention policy.

Is it possible that if I have a pool of 7 days ret. period the purge done for the clients that use this pool affect also other pools? It shouldn't.

Below you can see the log for the first example job, my relevant configs and a try to restore this backup.

Thank you for your help!.
