Any ideas what's going on here? I'm running Bacula 2.2.8 with MySQL, and
I'm attempting the following command:

*estimate job=SystemArchive client=arcturus-fd

...you can see what happens next:

Using Catalog "umd_CATALOG"
Connecting to Client catalyst-fd at catalyst:9102

- From the manual, this IS correct syntax:

- ---
estimate
    Using this command, you can get an idea how many files will be
backed up, or if you are unsure about your Include statements in your
FileSet, you can test them without doing an actual backup. The default
is to assume a Full backup. However, you can override this by specifying
a level=Incremental or level=Differential on the command line. A Job
name must be specified or you will be prompted for one, and optionally a
Client and FileSet may be specified on the command line. It then
contacts the client which computes the number of files and bytes that
would be backed up. Please note that this is an estimate calculated from
the number of blocks in the file rather than by reading the actual
bytes. As such, the estimated backup size will generally be larger than
an actual backup.

    Optionally you may specify the keyword listing in which case, all
the files to be backed up will be listed. Note, it could take quite some
time to display them if the backup is large. The full form is:

    estimate job=<job-name> listing client=<client-name>
           fileset=<fileset-name> level=<level-name>

    Specification of the job is sufficient, but you can also override
the client, fileset and/or level by specifying them on the estimate
command line.
