Thanks a lot for your help.
I had looked at the illustration from the manual and together with the
status report, I understand it as the job "start time" is not the
schedule time.
Here's the excerpt of the status report:
Scheduled time: 13-Jun-2011 22:31:01
Start time: 13-Jun-2011 23:01:15
So corresponding to the illustration, this should be the period "Wait
time", limited by "Max Start Delay".
The report states "Elapsed time: 0 secs". The definition of "Run Time"
in the manual makes clear that "Elapsed time" should be the same:
Max Run Time = <time> The time specifies the maximum allowed time that a
job may run, counted
from when the job starts, (not necessarily the same as when the job
was scheduled).
What I can observe is that the cancellation could only be correct if I
had set "Max Run Sched Time", but that's not set at all.
Max Run Sched Time = <time> The time specifies the maximum allowed time
that a job may run,
counted from when the job was scheduled. This can be useful to
prevent jobs from running during
working hours. We can see it like Max Start Delay + Max Run Time.

This doesn't correspond to the manual nor make sense imho or I don't
understand the concept at all.
My first problem of understanding is why my job gets started at
23:01:14, 30 Minutes after it was scheduled?
If it starts regardless of the SD-state, meaning it had waited for 30
Minutes for the Storage Device, the "start time" was "schedule time",
not 30 Minutes later...
But if I understood right, the job should be delayed "Delay Time" before
it gets started, for the Storage device to become available.
Or are there other reasons why a job could be delayed and a blocked
Storage Device is no reason?

In my case unfortunately that's not what I want to limit.
It's only about to limit the time it's one client allowed to transfere data.
