I'm running 5.0.3 and don't see this 6-day limit for jobs and do not have max run time set in the config files.    Pretty much all of my full backup jobs run into the 15-30 day range due to the shear size of the backup and the constant pause/flushing of the spool.  

I would think you're running into a different problem (going through a firewall or some other device that is timing out connections for long-running tcp).

Bacula has a hardcoded time limit on jobs of 6 days. Kern called it an
"insanity check" as any job that runs that long isn't really something
you'd want ...

See
http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users AT lists.sourceforge DOT net/msg20159.html
for a discussion on the mailing list from the past, and a pointer on
where to change the time limit in the code if you wish.

Last time this was asked on the list someone pointed to a possible
configuration option to override the hardcoded limit that should've been
added by now, but given the 0 responses to that I can't say if it
actually exists.

Jeremy
