beanstalkd weirdness, returns invalid jobs

Question

beanstalkd is playing tricks on me. As you can see from the following series of commands, there are ready jobs, but I cant peek, delete, or do anything with them.

watch ab_similar_sync_node
WATCHING 1

stats-tube ab_similar_sync_node
OK 272

peek-ready
NOT_FOUND

Answer 1

peek and peek_ready work with the tube being use, not watched. reserve will look in the tubes being watched, but as you can watch multiple tubes, it's not appropriate for peek.

use ab_similar_sync_node first and then you'll be able to peek all you want.
