The first thing you should check is if the client is connected to the
Director.
For this, use the bconsole.
In there use the command
"status dir"
It shows you the list of clients that are connected to the Director.
Header is:
Client Initiated Connections (waiting for jobs):
If your client does not show up there, it is not connected to the
Director and will therefore fail.
