Since it had the same job number that would imply that indeed it was 
rerunning the same job. Is the job set to restart?

There is a delicate race condition in batch in general, when it itself 
submits the next run, in that you can end up with two jobs if the job 
manage to do the submit, but don't manage to finish. This requires some 
careful thinking and design to at least minimize.
I know I've had a similar issue under RSX with my backup jobs.

However, the one really strange thing I see in all this is that the log 
file seems to have confirmed that your first run did submit a job, but 
that job seemingly disappeared into thin air.
That is the one thing I can't account for.
