Are there jobs 'running' in the dba_jobs_running table? Are you on Windows... If so you need to break it, and reschedule the next into the future it until they are all gone. I have seen that on Windows ... heard it was a dll thingy. The bottom line is that it is possible that the job kicks off before the other finishes, and this can repeat.
