No, whitespace does not matter, and Bacula would tell you if there were 
a config error. Maybe there were jobs already running when you issued 
the reload command in bconsole to bring in the config changes? Try 
restarting SD and DIR and see if the problem persists. If so, then I 
think it is a bug, or at least an ambiguity in the docs.
