That happens because, when Bacula prunes jobs, it does not verify that
a file name and path name record is still in use.
For example, you have backed up /somedir/somefile. The file is pruned,
but the path and the file name remain in the catalog.
This is done because - as you probably noticed - finding these entries
can take a very long time which we don't want to spend during regular,
in-job, pruning. Also, the entries will be reused if, later, you back
up /somedir/anotherfile and /home/user/somefile.
Or, in short - you're not seeing errors, you just found out a reason
why a scheduled dbcheck can help limiting the catalog size.
