Interesting. We have seen problems similar to what you describe, but they have always been related to a bacula-dir.conf configuration that is not supported by Bacula (Bacula does allow a certain number of unsupported constructs) or related to bad configurations. An example of the former is directly addressing a Device in an autochanger from the Director (this will cause the StorageId to be incorrect in some cases), and example of the latter is mismatched MediaTypes for a Device. We have no way to reproduce this, so there is currently no way we can fix it. If it is a real problem and it can be reproduced, then I would recommend getting a Bacula Systems support contract, and our support guys will work on it and *may* be able to tie it down sufficiently that the programmers can find and fix the problem.
