  I was having similar problem. If my client would drop off the network while 
it was being backed up, I could not cancel the job. Eric had a patch for that, 
maybe it will fix your problem too.

See  http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1166

I have installed the patch, but I have not tested it. None of my clients have 
crashed or lost network connection in last few weeks :-)

Will this patch be included in future version of bacula?
