Sometimes it won't help. I would remove the jobs file in the jobs directory
if it hangs, cannot be killed by the job monitor.

out when operator swapped tapes on Thursday.  Thursday night backup worked
fine, but failed when it tried to write the db to tape.  I found that I had
locked processes and no longer a db tape available.  These locks were
preventing daily backups from proceeding until the db was backed up.  I
changed the config to use which tape for db backups, stopped all deamons,
cleaned the existing locks for bpdbm and bprd, and restarted nbu.

I *remove* them?  I can't put the original db tape in (not sure that would
even help) as I am far off-site.  I need to get rid of all the previous
instances of failed backup so nothing is running, backup my db to the tape I
assigned from the robot, and requeue my full schedule.  Everytime I clean up
the old stuff, it just reappears at NBU start.
