o.k. I installed bacula 3.0.1 and ran a backup job with one of the 
clients where the problem exists. Error still occurs. Here are the logs:

After the job, there are no entries in the file table instead this is in 
the log of postgresql:

2009-07-09 11:45:53 CEST TIPP:  Dieser Fehler kann auch auftreten, wenn 
die Bytesequenz nicht mit der Kodierung übereinstimmt, die der Server 
erwartet, welche durch »client_encoding« bestimmt wird.

so i guess i'll make a bug report, because there should be at least a 
warning that something went wrong while spooling attributes.
