[Bacula-users] Bacula hangs waiting on a client

I'm running bacula 5.0.2 on openSUSE 11.2, backing up several linux, sun, and 1 Windows system.

Sometimes, the backups are not proceeding. If I run bat, I can see "Waiting on client" in Job Status for a particular client, and none of the other jobs in the list will run until I cancel that hung job. Once I cancel the hung job, the other jobs will start to run. The other jobs have a status: "Created, not yet running" when waiting for the hung job. Not sure why it's hung-- perhaps a network issue-- but I'm concerned about the other jobs not starting while waiting for the hung job. I have an entry in my bacula-dir.conf in the Director section:

Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20

Or is there some other setting/reason my server doesn't proceed to other systems while waiting for this 'stuck' client?

Any help would be great.

Thanks!
