It may default to 20 *there*, but that seems to be overridden by what's
set in the Storage resource in bacula-dir.conf, and if *that's* omitted,
it apparently defaults to 1.  I could not get concurrent jobs to work
until I explicitly inserted an additional "Max Concurrent Jobs = 20"
directive there as well.  Thus, to all practical purposes, if there is
no Max Concurrent Jobs directive in the Storage resource in
bacula-dir.conf, then the Max Concurrent Jobs directive in the Storage
resource in bacula-sd.conf is ignored.  The omitted directive in
bacula-dir.conf is defaulting to 1 and overriding the directive in
bacula-sd.conf.

This may not be how it is documented to work, it may not be how it is
intended to work, but on Solaris 10 at least, this is how it's working.
