I'm wondering if the problem is with MySQL.  Is it possible the database 
is corrupt and/or that MySQL is running out of disk space?

W/rt to corruption, I'd suggest maybe running mysqlcheck and while 
you're at it you might as well run dbcheck (bacula's high-level database 
consistency checker).

Also, I'd be interested to know if the "missing" job records really and 
truly are not there, or if the error report itself is bogus.  You should 
be able to test this by doing a SQL query on the database after a failed 
job, something like "select * from Job where JobID = 
<jobid_of_failed_job>;".  If the error message is accurate, this query 
should return no rows.
