Since I've introduced FreeBSD snapshots into my Bacula plan, I've 
started getting random backup failures.  A server will fail one day, and 
back up just fine the next.  A server will back up fine one day and fail 
the next.  ...all with no changes to the Bacula configuration.

Below, I've posted pertinent portions of configuration files and message 
logs.  Please let me know if I need to supply any further information to 
help troubleshoot this down.

bacula-dir.conf pertinent portions only...sensitive information removed 
with:  <*REMOVED*>

    JobDefs {
      Name = "BSD"
      Type = Backup
      FileSet = "defaultBSD"
      Storage = storage01
      Messages = Standard
      Pool = Default
      ClientRunBeforeJob = "/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/local/sbin/snapshot
    make -g1 /var:autogen_bkup"
      ClientRunBeforeJob = "/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/local/sbin/snapshot
    make -g1 /usr:autogen_bkup"
      ClientRunBeforeJob = "/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/local/sbin/snapshot
    mount /var:autogen_bkup /mnt/var"
      ClientRunBeforeJob = "/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/local/sbin/snapshot
    mount /usr:autogen_bkup /mnt/usr"
      ClientRunAfterJob = "/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/local/sbin/snapshot
    umount /mnt/var"
      ClientRunAfterJob = "/usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/local/sbin/snapshot
    umount /mnt/usr"
      Priority = 10
    }

    Typical job, as they are all nearly identical:

    Job {
      Name = "app06_BSD"
      Client = "app06-fd"
      Schedule = "MonCycle"
      JobDefs = "BSD"
      Write Bootstrap = "/var/db/bacula/app06.bsr"
    }

    Typical client, as they are all nearly identical:

    Client {
      Name = app06-fd
      Address = app06
      FDPort = 9102
      Catalog = MyCatalog
      Password = "<*REMOVED*>"      # password for FileDaemon
      File Retention = 30 days                   # 30 days
      Job Retention = 6 months                 # six months
      AutoPrune = yes                               # Prune expired
    Jobs/Files
    }

    My primary FileSet resource:

    FileSet {
      Name = "defaultBSD"
      Include {
        Options {
          signature = MD5
          compression = GZIP
        }
        File = /
        File = /mnt/usr
        File = /mnt/var
      }
      Exclude {
        File = /proc
        File = /tmp
        File = /.journal
        File = /.fsck
      }
    }

Finally, I get the same message from my /var/log/messages file at every 
failure.  The lines before and after this have nothing to do with the 
backup.
