Jon,

I believe I posted this same issue back in April and didn't get any 
replies.  I never did submit it as a bug but it does seem to be a bug to me.

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4F8ECD71.8080203%40mtl.mit.edu&forum_name=bacula-users

Perhaps I'll go ahead and post a bacula bug report and see what they say 
about this scenario.

cheers,
