I finally figured out bcscan and shunted the volumes onto another bacula 
server, hoping it was just a database issue.
I rebuilt the catalog from what's in the volumes and the files are still not 
there.

So it looks like bacula just decided not to backup these files. could it be 
something to do with it having multiple copies of this directory with the same 
attributes?
