That looks like something I found a while ago, and is fixed in 1.39.29. Kern diagnosed it as a mutex problem in the SDs reservation system, or something. > It's been this way for about 6 hours.

I guess you'll end up restarting the SD anyway... and perhaps replacing the whole server side with 1.39.29 which works reliable here. Admittedly on another scale than what you run, but I'm using a setup where multiple jobs run and tape changes are required - partly to stress-test Bacula - and that particular error is gone since 1.39.29. If you manage to shutdown the SD and launch a new instance fast enough you won't lose many queued jobs...
