Has you job retention period expired?

Either way you can get this back using the bacula volume utilities.
http://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/utility/utility/Volume_Utility_Tools.html#SECTION00272000000000000000

Make sure you have a longer retention period before you run this
otherwise bacula can expire the records just after it is done with the
recovery..
