You need to backup with "Accurate = Yes", see
http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/New_Features.html#SECTION00310000000000000000

Note that accurate will make a highier load on your machines than
the default behaviour.

Alternatively, if you can't or won't use Accurate=yes, you can keep doing
just full backups, no incremental/differental ones.
