Backups not timing out

We run a single nightly backup job to back up all of our VMs. At least one node every night will get stuck on a VM for hours and will sit there indefinitely until we cancel the job (and all other VMs that weren't backed up yet will not be done since we cancelled it). I tried to add the following to our vzdump.conf but when I run the jobs, the first thing it says is "ignore config line:" and ignores my changes.

timeout 10800
lockwait 3600
stopwait 600

We created the backup job via the UI. I can't figure out how to fix this problem. Any help is appreciated. We're still very new to Proxmox so please excuse me if I ask a lot of questions.
