Edit the Bacula Director config, find that <old client> in the config, and make sure the `Address = ` is set to the new name 
or the IP.

Reload or restart the Director, then, try a `status client=xxxx` where xxxx is the client's name in the Director's config. If 
the status client works, the job should too.


Hope this helps,
Bill
