Bacula virtual backup job doesn't run, no output?
- by Zoredache
I am trying to get Virtual Backups working, but when I try to run a virtual backup job, it appears to get created, but then never seems to actually run.
I have a full, and a couple incremental backups.

1288 Incr 525 138.8 M OK 21-Dec-12 11:25 nms-Job
I attempt to start a job from bconsole like this.
*run job=nms-Job level=VirtualFull
Using Catalog "MySQL"
Run Backup job
JobName: nms-Job
Level: VirtualFull
Client: nms-FileDaemon
FileSet: nms-FileSet

OK to run? (yes/mod/no):
Job queued. JobId=1291
Then my new job, just sits there, doing nothing. The JobStatus shows that the job was created, but it appears to never run? All the full, and incremental backups are terminating normally.

I am getting very frustrated, that this isn't working, mostly because it isn't giving me any error logs, or output at all. I submit the job, and as far as I can tell nothing happens.
Is there some status, or debugging level that I can set to get a useful information about why this isn't working? What can I do to make this work?
I was originally running Bacula 5.0.2 on Debian Squeeze, out of frustration, I upgraded to the 5.2.6 in the backports repository, hoping that a new version might give me better results.
