Exactly, it's the task of the resource to handle this inside ResourceBase::collectionCreated()
and ResourceBase::collectionChanged(). We just have to handle the return
values of all the Jobs correctly and finally find a way to propagate back errors
inside the resource to the server and user. That's the right way to fix it.

Adding such a check on client side will former or later cause other issues, we
had situations like that several times already... :(

Ciao,
Tobias
