I think the problem is that the client definition contains:

>   File Retention = 30 days  # 30 days
>   AutoPrune = yes           # Prune expired Jobs/Files

This causes it to prune the file records of *all* jobs for that client
whenever it prunes *any* job for that client.

Assuming you need that file retention for other jobs on the client, you can
work around the problem by adding a separate client definition for use by the
archive jobs, with the same Address pararmeter as the normal one.
