Looks like extending just the Director max concurrent jobs has fixed the
problem.Will still also look at following the storage daemon suggestions in the
manual.
Thanks for the help in sorting this out.

Hi Phil,
Thanks for your help. My files have been like that since I started using
Bacula with a File Storage system. I just haven't realised as there
wasn't a warning message. Now there is so I will fix it.
The Director one is easy to fix.
For the Storage one there is a chapter in the Main manual that covers
running multiple Volumes with a File based system using different Media
Type names to differentiate them. I think this should work for what I
want. I will give it a try and if it works will let the list know.
Thanks very much,
Adolf
