This *could* be fixed up by manually tweaking the database. However, given
where you are and your general knowledge of Bacula, I would recommend
completely starting from scratch (re-initialize your database, relabel your
Volumes) I'd suggest not to relable or overwrite or re-use any full backup
tapes until you have a new set though.
