Which version do you use?
IIRC there used to be an issue about fixed-space that was not "fixed"
anymore and Keith fixed it somewhere around 2.15.9 or 2.15.10.
Do you see the same issue with latest development version?

Use \override Staff.Barline #'space-alist =
#'((time-signature extra-space . 0.75)
(custos minimum-space . 2.0)
(clef minimum-space . 1.0)
(key-signature extra-space . 1.0)
(key-cancellation extra-space . 1.0)
(first-note fixed-space . 1.3)
(next-note semi-fixed-space . 0.9)
(right-edge extra-space . 0.0))
and change the value of "first-note". AFAIK it will not affect notes
with accidental since accidental is normally handled under "next-note".

If it is not ok with latest dev version please submit a bug report.
