Folks,

  This definitely looks like a bug. I had same problem this weekend, we had 
lots of rain over past three days and while bacula was backing up a remote 
system our T1 went down.

When I first canceled the job bacula told me that the job was canceled, and 
"stat dir" kept displaying that the job had been canceled but next job did not 
start. Tried to cancel the job several times after that and every time I tried 
to cancel the job, bconsole would wait for about 10 minutes and display error 
that the client cannot be reached, and "stat dir" command displayed that the 
job had been canceled.

Again, I had to restart bacula to get rest of the jobs to run.

Should this be reported as a bug?
