Sitting there, doing what? See below.

Don't worry about that. It often changes just before the job runs.
But there is one other thing. The parameters you changed are all in
the configuration files. They are used to create new resources (e.g.
pools, volumes). They have no effect on existing resources.
However, you can use the update command to refresh volumes/pools from
the config files.

It appears you are allowing mulitiple concurrent jobs. Is that your
wish?
Off hand, bouncing that FD will clear those mystery jobs.
