In the mean time i ran myisqmchk -o and there weren't any issues reported. Also
at least for first-server and second-second server i found that since two days
ago they have problems with resolving names (we had a dns change)  so this could
explain at least why the backup didn't work. My question is why is there the
weird behaveour with jobs meaning the job that was missing at "list jobs" but
appear at "status dir" and also why can't i cancel them. I'm sure i had problems
since before two days ago (when there was the dns change) but until it happens
again i'm going to consider them as being related to poor dns working (because
of our internal conditions).
