[Bacula-users] rejected Hello command

Hey everyone,

    I've been getting my feet wet finally with Bacula, after setting up a new file server.

    There's an oddity that's been occurring, however, and it's preventing me for backing up some Windows machines.

    I haven't tested this on a 32-bit environment yet, maybe I'm doing something wrong on my end, however, I'm finding it increasingly alarming that this error has occurred on three separate types of 64-bit windows machines.

    The problem is the following:

30-Jun 10:31 skydro-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: File daemon at "10.6.4.230:9102" rejected Hello command

    This happens on Microsoft Windows Vista x64, Windows 2008 Server x64, and Windows 2003 x64.

    Version I am using on the client ends are "win64bacula-3.0.1.exe"

    The file server itself is an Ubuntu 64-bit, jaunty, server edition, with latest bacula-director package, using mysql locally for a DB.

    I have found nearly nothing as far as suggestions in regards to this problem, aside from disabling VSS, which doesn't do anything for any of these machines. I've tried to restart all bacula services, and threw monkey wrenches into the mix to see what happens:

    When I actually intentionally mess something up, like the password, for example, I get appropriate errors:

30-Jun 10:13 skydro-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Unable to authenticate with File daemon at "10.6.4.230:9102". Possible causes:
Passwords or names not the same or
Maximum Concurrent Jobs exceeded on the FD or
FD networking messed up (restart daemon).
Please see http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/faq.html#AuthorizationErrors for help.

    When everything matches, however, I get the rejected Hello command problem...same error on all machines.

    I get the impression something is happening with the "skydro-dir" during resolution, but, I have nothing to go on currently.

    The following is my yang-fd.conf file on a fd client machine in question:

#
# Default Bacula File Daemon Configuration file
#
# For Bacula Systems release 3.0.1 (04/30/09) -- Windows MinGW64
#
# There is not much to change here except perhaps the
# File daemon Name
#

#
# "Global" File daemon configuration specifications
#
FileDaemon {                            # this is me
Name = yang-fd
FDport = 9102                # where we listen for the director
WorkingDirectory = "d:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working"
Pid Directory = "d:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working"
# Plugin Directory = "d:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\plugins"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
}

#
# List Directors who are permitted to contact this File daemon
#
Director {
Name = skydro-dir
Password = "XXXXXXXXXXXX" #hid it
}

#
# Restricted Director, used by tray-monitor to get the
#   status of the file daemon
#
Director {
Name = skydromon-dir
Password = "XXXXXXXXXXXX" #hid it
Monitor = yes
}

# Send all messages except skipped files back to Director
Messages {
Name = Standard
director = skydro-dir = all, !skipped, !restored
}

Much appreciated, any help you can provide,

- Shawn Q.
