Thanks for your reply!

I've also tried using the full name as you mentioned and I get the
same exact response and the job is not canceled.  If I run cancel
without options, I get this:

*cancel
No Jobs running.

Yet, I can still see the job is listed as running in the status output.

I just restarted bacula-sd and that did cancel the job.  But that just
seems like hitting a small nail with a 20lb sledge hammer.  It also
seems like the wrong solution give that it can affect other processes
too.

I've been looking through the documentation and it looks like it says
I need to perform a mount of the volume before the job will cancel.
That can't be right!  The volume is offsite and not available right
now which is why it is waiting on the mount in the first place.  While
I can go retrieve the offsite volume and perform the mount, that's a
lot of legwork since I'm not on the same side of the city where my
datacenter lives.

Do I really have to mount the volume to be able to cancel the job?  If
so, I cannot make sense of that.  Is there another way?
