Hello Georg, Nice to hear from you, sorry it is because of Bacula problems.
I've copied the bacula-devel list because they are generally much better at answering these kinds of problems than I am. On Tuesday 26 January 2010 21:39:48 Georg C. F.

Perhaps there is some compatibility issue there. The first thing I would look at is upgrading the FD. The second thing that I see is that the Dir complains that the comm connection with the FD was dropped so the Dir never received a good status. This is the reason the Director is marking the job as failed. The dropped comm connection could be either from a mismatched Dir/FD or perhaps a comm line or VPN problem. If you start by upgrading the FD, and the problem persists, I would look at possible problems with the VPN -- in particular, perhaps it is timing out, and setting a HeartBeat of 5 mins in both the Dir and FD conf files could fix the problem if it is a network timeout.
