Storage settings look ok to me. I do use Requires Mount = no in my 
filestorage settings though,
but I'm not entirely sure this is necessary as the manual does not 
mention what the default value for this directive is.

However after thinking on it you might still need to check your 
permissions again to make sure the folders are all writeable by the 
bacula user.
I usually change ownership of the folders to the bacula user to make 
sure bacula can access them, and this has always solved the issue in the 
past.

Kind regards,
Jeremy
