Hello, Lloyd. I don't think so. Unfortunattely I'm unable to reproduce the 
problem using 7.4.0 Bacula (16 January 2016) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu ubuntu 
15.10):

# bacula-dir.conf:
Job {
  Name = "BackupClient1"
  JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
  ClientRunBeforeJob = "touch /tmp/dummy"
  ClientRunAfterJob = "rm /tmp/dummy"
}

FileSet {
  Name = "Full Set"
  Include {
    Options {
      signature = MD5
    }
    File = /tmp/dummy
  }
}

# Output of bconsole job run:
