[Users] Error: job id is negative

Periodically when continuing a run, I get the error

Error: job id is negative

Aborting Simfactory

It is fixed by deleting the symlink to the previous active directory and then resubmitting.

Although that fix works, when I want to submit a job multiple times at once (so that when one output is finished running, the next one starts automatically), this error prevents me from doing that.

Anyone have any ideas on what might be the underlying cause of this issue and how to actually fix it?

Thanks!
