Thanks for all the input. This is a bit too simple because it does not check anything like if there's a job running or some other bconsole session running and so on. I wrote something, maybe it's useful for others. It's available via subversion from here: http://svn.tuebingen.mpg.de/stark/a

Hello, This looks like a configuration error -- probably with the definition of lld and llu. Have you run btape? It tests if those values are correct. If they are correct, then it would point to a possible bug in the library strftime() function. Bacula has been in use on a good number of 64
