I would say it is easy to deal with this, I think : 

  RunBeforeJob = "echo \"disable job=Job1\" | /usr/bacula/bin/bconsole"
  RunAfterJob = "echo \"enable Job1\" | /usr/bacula/bin/bconsole"
  RunAfterFailedJob  = "echo \"enable job=Job1\" | /usr/bacula/bin/bconsole"

This in your job should do. I'm just waiting till tomorrow to check if it's 
working fine.
