I doubt that this is a databse issue.

Messages from console commands in Job RunScripts are logged against jobid 0.

In Bacula 7 there is bug though and the messages are only sent when the config is reloaded or the director is restarted rather than being sent with the messages for the job that called the run script.  Might that account for the "random" times the messages are received?

I was thinking it was more of a corrupted database issue. I've pretty much checked everything else.

Is there something significant about "JobID 0"?

What about other users crontabs?  The bacula user for instance.

Or perhaps a RunScript on one of your Bacula Jobs? 

As Bryn said, this is not something that Bacula is doing on its own.

Are you SURE there isn't anything like a crontab somewhere that someone set up?  This very very very very much has to be something that is being either typed in to bconsole or executed via a script somewhere.  It isn't something Bacula is doing on its own.

Nope, none of that. No admin jobs. All my storage is File. Backups and restores work fine.

Do you have an admin job in your config that's running console commands? It looks like something is executing purge commands automatically which sounds really rather dangerous to the health of your backups. The good news is it doesn't seem to be working because you no longer have a "File" storage any more, but if you were ever to re-create it you might find backups being randomly deleted.
