Well, I just could not wait another month to see if the problem re-occurs. I 
decided to delay the production run of bacula for another month (my old backup 
systems is still running) and ran another begining of the month schedule this 
weekend, i.e. full backup to tape, then full backup to disk. On monday the 
incremental backups were done and they ran without any problem.

I am worried that I was not able to re-create the problem, I did not change 
anything in the config files except the schedule time. If there is a bug in the 
new code then it could pop up again anytime, I do not like it when thing start 
working without any changes to the code or config.

I guess I will have to wait and see. I think I will upgrade the server to 
2.4.1. My clients are at 2.2.8.

Thanks again for all your help and input.
