Good start at least...

Ignore that information - it's from the state files, and these 
probably are not up to date after a server crash.

Try a catalog query, in the simplest case for all the jobs from a client.

Using SQL, you could also print a list of each job on all the clients 
that finished successfull.

In general, I find that simply letting Bacula decide what to do is 
sufficient - you might skip one job, but that's about the worst thing 
that could happen.

To be on the safe side, I'd suggest to run a dbcheck on your catalog 
to ensure the catalogues internal structure is ok - the database can't 
detect problems there.
