I don't have a solution, but some other suggestions...
In bacula-dir.conf, the Password field must match the one listed in the 
client conf files above.
Same for Name parameter.
In /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf check that DirAddress also reports geek
Check also that /etc/hosts doesn't contain an entry where the fqdn of 
geek is matched to 127.0.0.1
