You wrote writing Volumes directly to a CIFS mount is not really a good idea for a number of reasons.

What do you recommend as best practice instead?

Bacula reads/writes blocks of data. Therefore block-based protocols like iSCSI are a better fit than than file-based protocols like NFS and CIFS,

Unfortunately, neither CIFS nor NFS include a truncate() function, and this problem was not noticed because not many people write Volumes directly to a CIFS/NFS mount.  Doing so is not really a good idea for a number of reasons reasons. 

Any way, once it was discovered (quite a long time ago), I fixed it by "emulating" a truncate.  Consequently, I suspect that if you upgrade to a more recent version of Bacula, it will probably work.
