Yes. You didn't send us your configuration files. ;) But let me
guess at the problem.
Does the following grep help?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ grep -i spool /usr/local/etc/bacula-dir.conf
Spool Data = yes
Spool Attributes = yes
Spool Data = Yes
File = /home/bacula/spooling
File = /home/bacula/spooling
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ grep -i spool /usr/local/etc/bacula-sd.conf
Spool Directory = /home/bacula/spooling
Maximum Spool Size = 11759496889
Maximum Job Spool Size = 11759496889 # 10GB
